Removing the axle

[@yaboimax6356]

I'm currently reviving a 73 C10 and after getting it pretty much road ready there's one hell of a thump from the driver's rear area. With the truck up on Jack's and the wheels spinning It all looks out of round, I'm thinking my axle shafts are bent because this thing sat for 40 years with a camper in the bed.

What year is that rear end from?

why not replace the bearings while your in there? also looks like a ridge where seal rides..which could be bearing issue. for the cost of already being there, id replace the bearings and check the shims because im sure they are worn. this is why i do my own, over looked shit leads to overlooked problems. I have yet to have one customer complain that I am being to cautious for the extra cost

How do you remove the pin bolt when it's broke in half?
