First you have to remove tires then you will see a large nut on the hub. you will need a breaker bar or impact to remove it and it will be large, generally a 32 mm nut. Once removed you will have to remove enough of the suspension to pull hub out of the way to slide the splined end out of the hub. This is benerally;
the lower control arm
sway arm linkage
torque bar
The you will need a large screwdriver or a pry bar to gently pry and pull the axle out of the transmsission. Make sure you use new retaining clip when re-instaling axle.
