Subject:      Removing axle question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

OK, I thought this would be pretty straightforward, but to get the
rear axle out ('85 Vanagon), must I remove the entire wheel bearing
housing, including the brake mounting plate, or can it be driven out
from the outside with a big bronze hammer (Bentley shows a circlip in
there somewhere)?

To clarify, I am NOT talking about the CV joint/axle assembly (which
is already out).

Thanks for any tips!

Gary
