My 29 and 30 ,have them .
If so you need to remove the cotter key and nut, then remove the brake drum ,ussually with a puller, then unbolt the axle bearing,then pull the axle. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 32 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 32 | i've removed drum and the outer seal and bearing retainer, according to shop manual you just pull axle, don't know if there is a pin in diff. that needs to come out first or not. sometimes these trucks can be so simple to work on it's confusing, gonna try and rig an axle puller. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 835 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 835 | I do hope you open up the differential and see if you have a pin or clip before you use an axle puller.
