The inter axle differential (also called a power divider) is an integral shaft in the forward axle. That shaft is the input for the forward axle and also the rear axle with a differential separating the input from the output allowing for a difference in speed between the front and rear axle.

Remove driveshaft, remove pinion nut, remove rear cover, remove axles, remove differential. Push pinion out through housing.

No, The joint is just not being put in correct. Go buy a good u-joint SORRY
to change carrier bearings in rear differenial you have to remove the rear differential from the vehicle. then remove the cover. remove the bearing caps. remove differential carrier unit. remove bearings. install new bearings. and then reassemble. recommend having a professional repair shop peform repairs
Unbolt/remove driveshaft. Use U-joint press to remove old U-joint, install new and replace driveshaft.
There are two U-Joints that are easily visible on a rear wheel drive vehicle. The driveshaft on a rear wheel drive vehicle has a U-joint at each end, just forward of the differential (the pumpkin-sized metal assembly on the rear axle) and near the transmission.
remove rear cover from differential, find 1/4 inch bolt in the third member that holds the 1 inch diameter pin between the axles. Remove the bolt and the pin, push the axle that you want to remove in towards the differential and remove the C-clip that keeps the axle in the differential. Pull the axle, using a bearing puller remove the oil seal and the bearing. Replace the bearing and the oil seal, make sure it is installed in the right direction or it will leak. install the axle, C-clip, pin, bolt, rear cover, and differential oil.
You will have to remove the rear end plate. NEUTZ
