Hi,

Replacing the axle on this vehicle will require the draining and removal of the rear differential gear oil and cover. Once that is removed, the procedure is not hard. You will also need to safely lift the rear of the vehicle off the ground prior to performing the procedure and remove both the wheels and brake drums.

In addition, this is a good time to replace the axle bearing and seal.

If you look below, I attached the directions specific to this vehicle for the removal and replacement of the axle.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
