How to remove and install the Full-floating axle shaft on 1997 Chevrolet K1500?

Remove the bolts which attach the axleshaft flange to the hub. There is no need to remove the wheel or jack up the vehicle. Tap the flange with a soft-face hammer to loosen the shaft, then grip the rib in the face of the flange with a pair of locking pliers. Twist the shaft slightly in both directions and withdraw it from the housing. Place a drip pan under the outer end of the axle to catch any lubricant which might leak out while the axle is removed. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to hold the axle shaft level to engage the splines at the inner end with those in the differential side gear. Always use a new gasket on the flange and keep both the flange and hub mating surface free of grease and oil.
