Re: How do you remove rear axles on 2001 Suburban

Remove the rear end cover and drain the fluid. Spin the carrier until you locate a 10mm head bolt/pin. Slide the spider gear shaft out until you can see the big C-Clip. Push the axles in and remove the C-Clip retainer. Now you can remove the axle. Insert the spider gear shaft back in until you are ready to re-install the axles.
Use caution when re-installing the spider gear shaft retainer bolt/pin as you will defineatly break it if you over tighten it. It is a good idea to use a little thread lock on the bolt as well. Re-seal the rear end cover and refill with GL-5 rated gear oil.
