    Q:
    How to remove and install a rear axle shaft on Chevrolet Caprice? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on stands placed under the body frame rails. Position an adjustable floor jack under the differential housing and just take up the weight. Do not raise sufficiently to take the weight of the vehicle from the frame stands. Disconnect the lower shock absorber mountings. Remove the driveshaft. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums. Disconnect the hydraulic brake lines from their clips on the axle housing. Unbolt and remove the differential cover, allowing the fluid to drain into a suitable container. Remove the axle shafts depending on type. Unbolt the brake backing plates, carefully withdraw the brake assemblies and wire them up to the frame without bending the hydraulic lines or disconnecting them. Remove the leaf springs. Withdraw the axle assembly from under the vehicle. Installation is a reversal of removal but tighten all suspension bolts and nuts to the specified torque. Fill the axle assembly with the proper grade and amount of lubricant.

    How to remove the rear axle shaft on Chevrolet El Camino? Posted by Customer
    A:
    To remove the rear axle assembly, start by raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely on stands placed under the body frame rails. Then, position an adjustable floor jack under the differential housing to take up the weight without raising it too high. Disconnect the lower shock absorber mountings and remove the driveshaft, rear wheels, and brake drums. Disconnect the hydraulic brake lines from their clips on the axle housing and remove the differential cover to drain the fluid. Depending on the axle type, remove the axle shaft and brake backing plates, carefully withdrawing the brake assemblies and wiring them up to the frame without bending the hydraulic pipes. Finally, remove the leaf springs and withdraw the axle assembly from under the vehicle. To install, simply reverse the removal steps and make sure to tighten all suspension bolts and nuts to the specified torque. Don't forget to fill the axle assembly with the proper grade and amount of lubricant.
