Update - I got the axels out ( no c-clip)
My next question is how do I pull the old bearings off the axel?

Hi,

Great Car!!! My best friend had a W31 that I believe was the same year.

As far as the bearing is concerned, it should be mounted in the axle tube. Take a look through this link. It is on a truck, but the idea should be the same.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/rear-axle-seal-replacement

Page down to steps 4 or 5. Step 5 discusses the bearing and seal replacement procedures. If you watch the video in step 4, it explains the entire process which may help.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
