1981 Olds Cutlass Supreme , mileage: 94,800. What has to be done to replace a noisy rear axle bearing? It is the type of rear that has the pinion-locking shaft with the small lock bolt and the C-locks on the inside ends of the axles.

The axles are retained by a "C" clip in the differential. Remove the axle and then remove the wheel bearing from the housing. Install in reverse order.
