Lift the rear of the vehicle and support with jack stands. Remove rear wheels and disconnect the driveshaft, ABS sensor(s), and parking brake cable. Detach the brake line junction block and brake lines. Remove rear brake calipers and support the axle with a floor jack. Remove bolts securing rear shocks and U-bolts securing the axle. Lower and remove the axle assembly. For coil spring models, disconnect wiring from wheel speed sensors and remove them. Hang rear brake calipers out of the way and disconnect the vent hose and parking brake cables. Remove stabilizer bar clamps bolts and support the bar. Raise the axle to avoid extending shock absorbers. Unbolt the track bar and remove bolts securing control arms. Lower the axle and remove it. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten all fasteners and caliper mounting bolts to the torques. Refill axle with lubricant if needed.

To prevent damage to the outer CV joint, you should suspend the drive axle with wire.

In a semi-floating design, the axle supports the weight of the vehicle on the axleshaft and transmits driving forces to the rear wheels.

For a full-floating axleshaft, loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the wheel and axleshaft flange bolts.

The axleshaft should be carefully pulled from the axle housing.

Remove any remaining interfering wiring harness clips. Remove the axle assembly pinion mounting bolts.
