Best Answer

Remove wheels

Remove brake drums if so equipped

Axle shaft should be secured by 4 bolts accessible by hole in center hub

Remove these 4 bolts and axle should slide out of differential

Bring to an auto parts/machine shop to replace seals

Not necessarily the way to do it above:

Chock front wheels and raise rear wheels, remove wheels and brake drums, remove rear differential cover and drain fluid, spin left or right tire to achieve shear pin stop bolt, remove this bolt, and remove shaft gear pin, push in on left then right axle while c clips fall into pumpkin housing, remove axle shafts, remove rear axle seals from housing using the axle itself or a seal remover, and replace. Installation is reverse of removal. Don't forget to fill the diff. with fluid, some newer chevys take a special fluid fyi.
