this is probably one of the easiest things to do. there are 6 (if I remember correctly) allen bolts on the trans side and there is a 32mm nut on the hub side of the axle. start by loosening the nut at the hub the wheel on the ground. some guys will use various techniques as it is very tight (320ft/lbs torque)so you will have to use some type of breaker bar for leverage. once it is loose, then start on the allen bolts on the transmission. once that is completed, it just comes out. warning: be very careful not to remove the bearings from the housing when you clean them. the best way to do it is remove the boots and put the axle shaft in a parts washer. if you don't have one, then pay someone (machine shops have awesome equipment) it will be alot cheaper than having to buy new axle shafts. lastly, make sure that you get the rear hub nut back to 320ft/lbs of torque. there is a ton of information on pelican about just this subject.
