My question to you is, in your video to take off the axles and replace the seals and bearings will both axles come out just by removing at c-clip alone? Also, if you have rear drum brakes do you need to remove the brakes itself?

Yes you can just pull the axles out after the c clip has been removed.

Here is the video in question:

On older cars you do not need to remove the rear brake shoes to do the job just the brake drum.


Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
