What do you mean? Just an entire rear axle swap?

So you are only changing axle shafts then. you remove the cover, remove the pinion shaft bolt. Remove the pinion shaft, without turning the axles slide each one inward to remove the c-clips. then slide the axles out.

If you turn the axle with the pinion shaft out the spider gear will fall out. They're easy enough to put back in but just don't do it and you won't have to worry about it. As far as changing the bearings just use a slide hammer.
