bottom of the axle flange. If both axles are to be removed,
you must drain all of the oil from the housing.
NOTE: This procedure does not require that the rear
end or drive assembly be removed from the
vehicle.
NOTE: The axle hub bolt has a special thread locking
compound applied to the threads. If this bolt
is removed, it must be replaced.
