Hi, I can not figure out how to remove the axle shafts. I have removed everthing and still can not get it out. I know some shafts have c clips, but I do not know where, or how, you would get to one on this axle.

Anyone that knows how to remove the shafts please reply.

Thx, here are a few pictures.

You just need to remove the nuts on the 4 retaining bolts that hold the bearing retainer plate to the housing. There are no c-clips.
It can be a real pain to get the bearing, and those bolts to push out of the housing, but that is all you have to do.

I have had some come apart real easy, and some have kicked my butt.

take a propane torch and heat the side gear where the axle shaft slides into it

2 out of the 5 i've done have been super stuck and this did em, came right out with a slide hammer after that
