Does anyone know how to remove the rear axle?

As in the entire axle? Or just the axle shafts?

Just the shafts

Just the shafts

Drain diff fluid. Pull diff cover. Rotate diff till you can see the c clips. Use magnet or long pliers to remove. Pull axles out.

Forgot to mention, remove brake calipers and rotors.

You have to remove the pinion shaft too, or the axles will not push in and allow the C-clips to be removed.

BUT!!!

Before pushing the axles in remove the ABS sensors from the backing plates--if this is not done they can be damaged.

Here is the axle removal procedure from the shop manual...
