Remove the "C" clip from the axle

Press the bearing and retainer and backing plate off the axle

Knock/press the four bolts off the backing plate that attaches the axle to the housing.

replace the four bolts/studs back into the bearing cup

Replace the seal/dust cover on the end of the bearing cup that goes towards the axle flange

Knock/Press the bearing and retainer on to the axle

Before installing axles, replace the axle seals in the housing, OEM are the best for seals.

Replace the "C" clip

You are done

I recommend that you replace the axle bearings at this time.

If you do not have a press or access to a press, here is another method of changing axle bearings

Looks a little Primitive Pete, but it works.

I recommend that you change the axle housing seals before you install the axles, OEM seals are the best
