- Put the car on jack stands
- Pull the differntial cover and drain oil
- Remove the wheel
- Remove the caliper
- Remove the rotor
- Remove the 5/16" cross pin bolt
- Remove the cross pin shaft or paddle
- Push axle inwards from the flange so the c/clip will drop
- Remove c/clip
- Slide Axle out
- Reassemble in reverse order

Note: Be sure to use loctite on cross pin bolt threads after you have cleaned with brake cleaner.

if its a 4 channel you will have to remove the speed sensor to push the axle in far enough for the c-clip to come out
