Chances are that its the outer bearings that are shot... which means you don't have to pull the spider gear carrier, htough it might not be a bad idea, but than you gotta get the the lash perfect, which, unless you *really* know what you are doing, is something best left to professionals.

But to do the outer bearings, you just gotta get teh axles out... is that what the special tool is for? Cuz you don't need it for that.

Just pull the drums, pull the brake backing plates, figure out a way to hook a big slide hammer to the end of the axle and pull it out.

If you don't have or can't find a suitable slide hammer, re-install the brake drum (or preferable an old drum) loosely but with the nut on there, and gently tap with a copper or lead hammer until it pops out.
