First thing is can I get my shafts spray welded where it is showing signs of wear at the bearing and second thing is how do you get those bearings out of there ?

Thanks in advance

You can use a slide hammer style puller to remove the bearing. You can also replace those bearings with a repair bearing from NAPA without repairing the axles. The replacement bearing uses a different wear area on your original axles. The Napa part number is R1559. This is for a 1/2 ton truck.
Also, this repair bearing eliminates the need for a seal, it's all one piece bearing and seal.

once the axle is worn into you need to either replace the axles or get the repair bearing as stated
