it may vary for you, but i undid the ball joints and tie rods, pushed the axle in a bit, and wiggled it out of the hub. U may have to do it with two people, one person holding the knuckle outward while the other seperating the axle and the hub.

my driver size axle was frozen to the hub, not good. I had to pry the entire unit loose and take it to a shop.

you pop the driver side half-shaft off of the intermediate shaft with a big screwdriver or crowbar. at the point hte manual says.

I assume its the same for the passenger side, i didnt have to pop mine off though (was replacing wheel bearings).

use a plastic hammer to tap the end of the axle inward if its kinda stuck... if its frozen like mine, u might ahve to use a big ****en mallet... but dont pound ti hard w/ a hammer, dont wanna mushroom the end.
