Pulling axle
You have to remove the C-clips to pull the axle. Remove the rearend cover. There will be a solid pin in the middle of the carrier that is held in place by a set screw. Remove this pin, push the axle in and remove the C-clip. A magnet is helpful to remove the C-clip. Once the C-clip is removed the axle slides out. You will need a slide hammer to remove the bearing.

well i dont have room to get a boxed end wrench to move once i slip it on the nut. The nut is surrounded by the carrier itself somewhat. If i try to move the wrench down the part right next to the bolt on the wrench hits the carrier and i can go no further.
