Check the drive shaft bolts first. I had them come loose and it makes a
clunk.
Also check you leaf springs for a crack, it clunks too.
Pulling the axle is easy, remove the brake drum, remove the axle set
screw and pull it out. You may have to pry it off the rubber "O" ring
with a screw driver.
Be sure to replace the O ring and paper gasket. Also watch for gear oil
dripping out when the axle comes out.
