one or both sides (said axles, 1)
or the whole total axle, (some call it an axle and is not, its and axle assembly and housing with gear sets)

old post.
no symptoms stated, and matters big time to any helping mech.
let me guess,
a seal leaks. left side. (tossed coin)
with full video..... we have 3 videos on file, some sux.
hint1: do only 1 side at time, for sure brake bits.
hint2, drain axle.
have a slide hammer ready.
I just did one, so is fresh in mind, and not first.
hint3, take photos of brakes, bits as they dismount (a big win)

to replace bearings on axles that is another story and longer video
