I need to replace the axle seals on my rear end, I have the axle shaft out but I can't see how the hub comes off. Here's a picture of the insides

 

they are a little clip in the key way and then a big nut.

 

yep just like the pap says pull that little clip with a pair of pliers and get you a socket to remove that nut or you can use a chisel but that can gouge on your nut but it does work and might have to adjust your brakes by backing them off to remove your hub

 

and remember to put clip back. i lost a set of duals one time from the dealer not installing clip.

 

The brakes are completely removed, I have to replace them too. I didn't want to bend anything, so I just use a little more force and pull that tab straight out?

Also where would I find the socket for that nut? it looks like it has 5 slightly raised areas and I don't really want to use a chisel and hammer it back on.

 

autozone or advance should have them

 

I had to do the chizel Autozone, or Napa couldn't get it. It's bigger than 2" but Im sure you can find one on-line. The chizel sucks... I need to check and make sure I put my clip back in.
