Remove axle nuts. remove lower ball joint cotter-pins & nuts & remove lower ball joint from knuckle, pull knuckle out & off shaft. Use med. size pry bar & pop inner joint out of trans. - CAUTION -Hold onto INNER JOINT when pulling axle out of trans., if you pull on the shaft in the center , the shaft & bearing can come out of the caseing. It can be difficult to get bearing back in. I've had to disband the boot more than once to get them back in. { Did'nt learn the 1st time.} You can pull them out to the wishbone & let hang there or you can emove wishbone bolt & take them out.You can then have axle in hand.
