How do I remove the Rear Axles
#1
![Question](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Like the title says, I am installing a set of 5.13's in my Jeep. Got the front done no problem, but the rear is giving me trouble.
How are the rear axles retained, I have removed the 4 nuts on the back side of the axle flange and looked for C-Clips in the carrier. I can't figure it out. The axles are still in there good, no amount of pulling so far has even budged them.
It's a '07 Rubicon by the way.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.![beer](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/beermug.gif)

What we found out at SMORR is that a pry-bar might be needed.
But, we were (I say we, I was watching) working on the front and the splines were tweaked a little and it took a pry-bar to get it out.
Good luck...

A length of stout chain and a strong arm is all you need. Get about 36" of chain, attach each end to a wheel stud. Get plenty of slack in the chain and snatch that puppy right on out. Works everytime.
