Fsm? I just did a search on you tube and found a video of a guy WHO was replacing his axle seals. And I beleive I know how to do if now. Just un Bolt the rod that holds the c clips in place gently remove the rod. Remove the c clips. And shazam the axles can Get pulled out. I didnt know it was that Easy. I was told I need to disasemble the whole diff in order to Get the axles out. Bit I beleive I will tackle this job on the next nice day here.

Factory Service Manual. It puts the Haynes/Chilton's to shame. They're good for a quick reference, but the FSM is far more detailed and specific about things. Google it for your year durango and save it. Print what you need when you need.

You don't even have to google it. Go to the diy section that's stickied at the top of the first gen page and then the links to the fsm are 1 or 2 things up from the bottom.

yup its as easy as pulling the diff cover, removing the bolt that holds the rod in the center of the differential, remove the rod, and push on the axle and the clip can be removed if it didn't already fall off.
