You have to remove the axle shaft out of the axle housing and punch them out. Its not that bad, leave everthing you have apart off. Remove the diff cover. You'll see a pin running through the differental there is a little bolt on one end you remove that. You might have to spin the axle untill the little bolt rolls up. Once the bolt is off push the big pin out of the diff. Then push the axle shaft from the wheel to the center. You shopuld hear a clip drop. There is a C clip holding the axle in. Once the c clip is out slide the axle all the way out. When reinstalling push the axle all the way in and set the c clip in its groove, use a big screw driver and push the axle to the out side of the car so the pin will fit back through the diff.

Could also remove your abs sensor and install it through the abs sensor hole and do it the shade tree way with an open lug nut and just pull it through

I suppose you could, I never would. Some people do though.

ok i was so talking bout the wheel studs that hold the rims on. i figured it out! newbiee didnt take off the ebrake. so the rotor would not come off. lol once i realized this it was a piece of cake.

I just pull the rotor off and punch it out. Then use an open nut like mook99ta says to pull the new stud back on.

I just snapped all 5 of my studs off on the 1-2 shift. I ended up pulling the axle out and using an air hammer to punch em in. Worked pretty well, driving just as hard and they havnt broken again.

i always read through the abs sensor hole

and having the ebrake on while changing rotors got me too

I think it is easier to take the caliper off and pull the rotor than having to pull the diff cover unless you are due for a fluid change.

After my last trip to the track I snapped two pulling the DR's back off. They had bent. I now keep spares in the glovebox to save me a trip to NAPA
