Re: 1995 chevrolet tahoe 4x4 posi rearend axel bearing...
You don't. Ever work on a rear axle. Remove cover,one bolt,pull pin and axle clip.Then pull axle, and off to auto parts store, to press on new bearing.

fror fixing the brakesw take the other rear wheel off and duplicate what u see. to get the axel out u must first remove diff cover in center of rearend then u will see a clip for each side axel remove clip and axel will slide out. good luck fron 1 to 5 being difficult its a 3
That truck uses a heating element in the hubs to expand the metal and engage the hubs. Manual aftermarket kits are available what replace this questionable system. Check with your parts store or 4x4 shop.
Open the rear end, and take out keeper that holds the axel in..
if you push on the axel a bit and feel it slide into the rearend, that will show you the keeper at the other end...
Remember to have a catchpan under the rearend when takeing the cover off, as the fluid will drain out, and make sure to replace the fluid, (can't tell you how many get in a hurry and forget that part) Check with Ford to make sure what type fluid it is, (synth mix, full synth, or standard 80/90)
Do you have the pin in the differential out & "c" clips removed, or is it a different system? Once pin is out you push in slightly on axles & remove "c" clip, then pull them out.
Do you have bolt in axels? or are they held in with C- clips? If its bolt in axels you need to remove the bolts, and you may need an axel puller to get them out. If its got C- clips rear cover on rearend has to come off, and pin has to be removed to get C- clip out to get axel out.
Loosen differential cover and let oil drain. Remove cover, remove U lock from axel. Pull axel out. Remove bearing seal then bearing. Install new bearing, seal and reinstall axel. Reinstall U lock and new cover gasket. Fill with 75-90wt gear oil. Now I know that sound pretty straight forward. But there are some things to remember. The U lock can be difficult to remove sometimes. The most important thing is the seal, you will need to make sure it gets seated correctly and not torn when installing axel.
