I dont know if this helps or not but I replaced mine when I did my wheel bearings. I removed the whole knuckle. You should be able to get the axle out by undoing the U-joint clamp on the diff end and remove the nut on the wheel end of the axle. Then the axle should just come out. Put the new washer on and put the axle back in.

My rear passenger side makes a clunking noise at low speeds over rough(er) pavement. It sounds like we are talking about the same noise.
I changed the wheel bearing and U-joints on that side over the weekend, but the noise persists. All of the bushings looked in OK condition, although now that I think about it I didn't check the top strut mount. That is the only thing I can think of that is producing the noise.
