What happens here
Begin removing the axle shafts by using an impact wrench to loosen and remove the eight nuts that secure the hub assembly. Once the nuts are off, carefully pull the axle shaft out of the housing. After the shaft is removed, identify the internal retaining components within the hub: a snap ring and a key. Use long pliers to carefully pull out the key. Once the key is removed, the threaded nut can be rotated and unscrewed, allowing the bearing to be removed. Repeat this process for the other side of the axle.
Goal: Extract both axle shafts and their associated internal hub retaining components.
