No, the rear axle shaft does not have an internal retainer clip. You remove the four nuts on the inside of the brake backing plate and remove the axle shaft with a slide hammer and hub adapter.
Yes
Only if the rear axle is a drive axle.
Remove wheel, Remove drum or disc brake rotor,remove rear differental cover. Remove shaft between the spider gears that is held in by a lock bolt. Shove the axle from the outside toward the differential and remove the "C" clips that hold the axle in inside the diff. and then the axle can be removed.
