I did this when I replaced ball joints on my '91. (only did left side- now RH balljoints are loose- DOH!)
Take out lockout and spindle nut(s)* and then remove the hub / rotor assy.
Then you will have to unbolt the inner hub (has 6 bolts that hold it to the spindle) and then the axle shaft simply slides out.
Be sure to inspect wheel bearings and repack with fresh grease.
If theres an easier way, somebody let me know. I need to replace a joint on my F250.
* You will need a special socket

When you say spindle nuts, do you mean the top and lower nuts? I guess im confused with what ones those are.
And your saying the U joint will fit threw the bearing and slide directly out?

I found this, looks to be a solid axle D44, but i think it should be the same though right?

The pass side axle shaft is held by a C clip in the diff so the easiest thing is to remove the clamp on the rubber boot and just pull the outer part of the shaft out at the slip joint. Make sure you mark it so it goes back in the same as it came out.

Pics would help a lot. Also try cleaning as much of the grease out of there as possible, you might be missing something that has to come out because it's covered in grease. I haven't messed too much with auto hubs so I can't help with the disassembly.
