Post subject:  Axle Removal

All you need to do is jack-up the car and make sure it is well supported on stands, remove the wheel and look for 4 nuts under the axle flange. There will be a quarter size hole in the axle flange you can use to put a socket through to remover the 4 nuts.

Once all the nuts are off, pull on the axle to see if it pops-out easy, most will not. (stuck) If it's stuck, install the brake drum up-side-down and screw on 3 nuts up-side-down, 3-4 turns. Now slide the drum all the way back on the studs the quickly outward to "bang" into the nuts, that will usually pop the axle out.
