When pulling shaft sticks is there a pin that need to be removed or is there a video for this?

Good afternoon.
If you do not have the full floating rear where the axles are bolted from the outside, then yes, you need to remove the differential cover and the spider shaft to release the C clips to remove the axle.
Which axle do you have?

So it is hard to clarify maybe, we do not want to remove the whole axle we are trying to replace the barrings on the left side of the axle and the shaft does not come all the way out.

okay, you have a full floating rear axle. after you removed the bolts it should come out.
Is that as far as it will come out? it should slide all the way out.
How did you get off the hub if the axle wont come out?

Took out the bolts out but still not coming all the way. It come to what looks like about the end and catches on something. It has grease on it so I do not think it is rusted, but was not sure if there was something missed. I will send a picture later when I pull it all the way out again later.
