In this video I’ll show you the steps I take to remove and fix a broken rear axle. This one happens to be a dana 44 rear axle from a Jeep Cherokee with disk brakes and a spool but rear axles are all pretty similar. The only differences you may have is a C-clip axle which you’ll have to remove the c-clip to take the axle shaft out rather than the 4 bolts shown in this video , you may have drum brakes which are pretty self explanatory… just put them back the way you found them when done… I have a video on drum brakes too, and you may have an open diff or a locker where I have a spool… In that case you will need to remove the cross pin and spider gears to be able to push the broken shaft all the way through. If so, Just keep track of where everything came from and put it back just like you found it.
