This shows what you can expect to see.
C-clips are easy to remove.
1. Raise the rear end off the ground
2. Remove diff cover
3. Rotate the diff so you can see the c-clips.
4. Push the axle in.
5. Remove the c-clip. I use a flat blade screw driver.
After the axle is out stick you finger where the axle was and spin the bearing. Replace it if it feels rough. Look at the area on the axle where the bearing rides. Replace it if it feels or looks rough.
