Push the wheel in, then in the center of the carrier the axle will protrude maybe 1/2" there will be a C-clip you simply have to pull off and then the axles will come right out. (there is a c-clip on each axle)

If your going to answer questions be as thorough as possible. The guy could be out there beating on the carrier with a sledge destroying his rear end because you neglected to tell him about that bolt.

These forums are to help people out not frustrate them more.

Cool it man.

If you have to sit there and explain every last detail on how to do anything on here, no one would post answers anymore and all we would have is people asking questions no one wants to answer. Like i said, if you don't have the know-how to notice the VERY simple things, you should not be taking that stuff apart. They are going to put it back together wrong, forget to tighen a bolt and kill themselves when it comes apart going 60MPH down the road.

I apologize if I came off a little harsh.
I rely on these forums alot and just don't want anyone to hurt themselves or their car from bad info.

It wasn't bad info, it was perhaps incomplete or lacking detail.

Some things are better off to the professionals.
