How to remove and install the rear axle shaft on 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer?

Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands placed under the frame rails, blocking the front wheels to prevent rolling. Remove the rear wheels, then position a jack under the rear axle differential housing and raise it slightly. Disconnect the driveshaft from the rear axle pinion flange and secure it out of the way with a piece of wire from the underbody. For models with air springs, depressurize the rear suspension. Disconnect the shock absorbers at their lower mounts, the vent hose from the fitting on the axle housing, and the brake hose from the junction block on the axle housing, plugging the hose to prevent fluid leakage. Remove the brake calipers and discs, then disconnect the parking brake cables from the actuating levers and brackets. Remove the stabilizer bar and the rear suspension springs, followed by detaching the rear suspension track bar and upper and lower control arms from the axle. Lower the jack under the differential and remove the rear axle assembly from under the vehicle. For installation, reverse the removal steps, tightening the U-joint strap bolts and all suspension and brake fasteners to the specified torque values. Finally, bleed the brakes and install the wheels, tightening the lug nuts to the appropriate torque.
