It should be the same as my '99. There should be 4 nuts behind the brake rotors. Remove brake components, remove the nuts, use a slide hammer style axle puller to pull the axle out.

I believe it's probably the same as mine - Dana 44??

Could be wrong.

I had to do some searching to get it straight. It is a Dana 44 (stamped on the web between the axle and diff housing) and you do remove the rotor... and slide it out of the tube. When I looked in my Haynes manual, it said the Rodeo has a c-clip holding the rear axle in. This applies only to the earlier Rodeos with the drum brake setup in the rear and the GM axle. The link above explains which axle goes with which Isuzu. Good luck! The link I posted earlier about the Dana 44 should help.

Thank U Guys I finally got it, went to dealer and did what U tool me took out the 4 bolts on back of the brake rotor. My axle was bent "What a pain to take out that bearing on axle." Took it to the machine shop and the guy had to cut the bearing and locking ring with heat can U bealive that? Also bearing had to be pressed in to install I just hammer it in takes a while but gets the job done! Thank U guys!
