Is there an easy way to tell by looking at the diff if i have a c clip or bolt in axle? Thanks, Shane. 70 Buick Lesabre
Remove one of the rear wheels. Where the axle flange is that has the wheel studs in it, look behind it. If you see four bolts there, then I would say it's pretty safe to say it's a bolt in axle. At least that's the way mine is. If you remove those bolts and pull on the axle ( usually with a slide hammer ) it will come out of the axle tube. Bearings and all. A little diff oil will come out as well. John B.
