Question!' Help asap!!
I am working on my rear axle (8.25) and was gonna pull the axle shafts out to replace barrings and seals. Will this mess up any of the aliment up of the ring and pinion?! I'm new to working on the axles please any help?!

Just did this myself last Sunday. If you do it correctly, you won't affect the ring pinion at all. Just be sure not to touch the large cap bolts on either side. You don't need to mess with those at all to remove the axles.
Just remove the tiny bolt which holds in the large steel pin. Slide out the large steel pin, push the half-shaft/axle in which will expose a C-clip. Remove the C-Clip and the axle will slide right out. You will need a slide hammer to pull the old bearing. You should be able to rent a slide hammer at any chain auto parts store other than NAPA.
