4x4 5.9ltr engine
Here's a video on the same model/make with something that started as a noise. Turns out there are two different axles with the difference being the locking ring on the inboard end. Dodge Dakota Front Axle Noise

There's not any special tools. You need a socket to fit the nut on the end of the axle and a wrench to take the nut and bolt off the bottom ball joint that slides through the control arm. Take a bar, pry down on lower control arm, pulling ball joint out, then pull the upper part out by hand, away from the car, slide axle out of the bearing assembly. Take a pry bar, put between trans and axle, give it a swift, quick ****. The axle should come out. Remember to always put jack stands under the car and be safe. Phil
SOURCE: can not get hub or disc off of front axle to replace disc
You can try two options. First is beat it until it comes off, this usually leads to the hub assembly coming with it and pieces everywhere. Then you have to replace both. The other is to find a puller that attaches over the studs and presses in on the hub assembly at the same time. Be careful though there are two or four bolts on the back side that if not removed will also tear up the hub assembly. Either way after the first side you will have it figured out for the second. Don't forget to use plenty of PB blaster.

They pull right out when you get the knuckle off. Hardest part is getting there. Be sure to test the ball joints before you remove the tires. You may need some replaced.
