to replace an axle shaft, you need to pull the cover off the center, take the center pin out and shove the axle in to remove the "C" clip. pull the axle shaft out and use the tip to pull out the wheel bearing. reverse procedure to reassemble and refill the axle after replacing cover and gasket. This video shows the job being done on a similar car but the process is the same.
