Disconnect the right inner tie rod end at the relay rod.
Remove the axle shaft flange bolts, turn the wheel to loosen the axle from the axle tube, push the axle towards the front of the truck and tie it out of the way.
Unplug the indicator switch and actuator electrical connectors.
Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid from the case.
Remove the axle tube-to-frame mounting bolts.
Remove the axle tube-to-carrier bolts.
Remove the axle tube/shaft assembly. Keep the open end up.
Position the axle tube, open end up, in a vise by clamping on the mounting flange.
Remove the snapring, sleeve, connector and thrust washer from the shaft end.
Tap out the axle shaft with a plastic mallet.
Turn the tube, outer end up, and pry out the deflector and seal.
Using a slide hammer and bearing remover adapter, remove the bearing.
Clean all parts in a non-flammable solvent and inspect them for wear or damage. Clean off all old gasket material.
