Trying to get the rear axleshaft out of my Tahoe and there isn't enough clearance to remove the c clips. Taken many apart in the past(other vehicles) and have never had this problem. Is there some kind of trick to the Tahoe's that can give more clearance. Thinking about cutting the seals out to get the clearance needed to remove them.
Remove the lock clip from the axle shaft end. The lock clip is spring loaded and fits securely in the axle shaft slot and may need to be push off the shaft end with a screw driver or related tool. Pushing the axle shaft inwards towards the gears my help in removal of the lock clip.

if you are talking about the axle seals, 1.REMOVE THE WHEELS.2. REMOVE THE DIFF COVER(slowly)3.REMOVE THE BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY.4.REMOVE THE 8MM PIN IN THE DIFF CARRIER. 5.TURN CARRIER AND REMOVE THE LARGE PIN.6. FIRMLY HIT IN THE AXLE, A SMALL RETAINING C CLIP WILL FALL INTO THE DIFF HOUSING. DO THE SAME WITH THE OTHER SIDE. ( be careful if you have rear speed sensors remove it when you remove the brake calipers . you will break it when you are pushing in the axles.)7.pull axles and replace seals

Hi, removal of the struts need some mechanical knoledge and must be carefull removing the spings,secure your car with a jack stand remove the tire ,position a jack onder lower control arm,disconect brake line ,remove the three screws on top of the strut ,remove the two nuts and screws at the lower end of the strut ,lower the jack slowly ,the strut assembly should come out, you need a strut sprig compressor to compress.the springs,remove the nut at the center of the strut,rplace the stut,instalation is the reverse of the procedure..Good Luck

sometimes you have to use a prybar to pull the shaft out...you apply enough pressure and it will pull it past the c clip and come out ive had to do it and its about the only way to get the axle out
SOURCE: can not remove rear axle on chevy avalanche 4x4 1500.
you will need to take off the differential cover (drain and change diff oil at this time)
rotate the axle so that you can get at the cross pin and remove it by undoing a small bolt that holds it in place. it should slide out with ease, but i have had them stick, take care not to let the cross pin get lodged where it is difficult to extract
a single C-clip is holding each axle inside the differential housing
you will need to push in from the outer end of the axle, while simultaneously manipulating the C-clip off of the inner axle, repeat this same process on the other side
i will put some of pics up in a minute
SOURCE: How to change the rear axleshaft oil seal
Jack it up, put it on stands. Remove the wheel, the brake drum, the differential cover, the axle clip, and pull your axle. Remove and replace the seal, install new diff gasket, re-install, and refill oil.
Release and raise the rear hatch using either the unlock button on the inside of the driver's door or a keyless remote, locate the hatch release on the inside of the hatch, then depress the hatch pins using a flat-head screwdriver, and remove the hatch panel holding clips with the trim panel remover.
Remove the rear hatch release panel with your hands, detach the release cable C-clip with the flathead screwdriver, then carefully pull the hatch wiring out with your hands.
Remove the rear hatch release with the ratchet and socket.
