The axle housing is the main body of th axle.
The torque reaction of rear axle housing is the traction of wheel on the road.
In a full-floating axle, the axle bearing is placed on the outside of the axle housing. This places all the vehicle weight on the axle housing and none on the axle itself. This is important for the front axle which is generally a short shaft. In the semi-floating axle, the axle bearing is placed in the axle housing and the axle carries some of the load of the vehicle. The main advantage of the semi-floating is that it is simpler (i.e. cheaper). Courtesey of: http://www.m38a1.ca/axles.html Sourced by: Paul Henderson, Donegal, Ireland.

pull drum off and get an axle puller. Although correct this answer assumes you mean the rear axle. If that is the case pull the drum off after removing the wheel and remove four bolts holding the axle bearing to the differential housing (on opposite side of brake backing plate) and then use a reversible hammer (axle puller) to pull the axle out from the differential axle housing.
If you have a E40D transmission it is on top of the rear axle housing. If you have a 4R70W transmission, you have two. One is located in the tailshaft housing and the other is on top of the rear axle housing.
