Sounds like you are familier with getting the axles out. The one on the drivers side, probably has a deep groove worn in it so you're going to have to drive it in with something heavy to get it in far enough to get the C-clip out. I post an answer on this subject but will give you the same advice. Replace the axles with Yukon brand aftermarket axles. Do a search, I found out about them on pirate4x4.com and went through the dealer off that site. Great prices, really good axles too. Make sure you get all the metal shavings out of the axle tube. You don't want to do this again in another month. I remove the carrier and push a solvent soaked rag through the axle tube with a broom stick until I'm certain all the metal shavings from the bad bearing & old axle are gone. Then install new bearings & seals, install the carrier and shove the new axles in. Be sure to adjust the rear brake shoes as a last thing. I put new tires on mine this weekend and had to turn the self adjusters at least two full turns. The rear brakes weren't doing thier portion of the work, really makes a differance when the rear brakes are adjusted.
Let me know if you find the Yukon axles. What you think of them etc...
Edit: Here's the link, I'm not sure if they sell direct, probably not. Should be a distributor list. Call and get a price. I know from rebuilding the big Dana 60 recently that their parts were a lot less expensive then expected. High quality parts, highly recommend.
