I'm on my way to having a 3.73 but I'm having trouble getting the axles out.
What has to be done for them to come out? I have the calipers, rotors, and the diff. cover off, is there more to it that the clips falling out? Please reply ASAP, it's on jackstands

push the axles in and take the clip out and thats it

edit you have to take the little bolt out of the diff remove the pin the holds the spiders and then the clips will come out

Where EXACTLY are the clips? The 5 hours of sleep and 100* weather is making me lose it.

Thanks for the link, it helped a lot!
Im having trouble popping out the C-clips though. Is there a trick? I've tried a magnet but they are too tight on the axle, I've triedneedle nose, but theres not enough space to grab each side, and my fingers are too big for the hole.

Mine just fell out when I pushed the axles in.

i usually just use a screw driver and push on them and they just fall in the rear.

Thanks for the help guys!
Mine just took a little convincing from a rubber mallet. A few whacks on the axle ends and they fell right off.

There is more then just putting the ring and pinion inside a you know .... just making sure...

Pinion depth,,, backlash , its not that easy sometimes.. takes time for sure with couple of tools

perfect time to check your wheel, carrier , pinion bearings , seals etc ..
