Remove the U-bolts from the rear end and tape up the bearings so they don't fall off. Remove the two carrier bolts and pull out the shaft from the transmission. An oil pan under the transmission would be a good idea. A perfect time to replace the transmission seal too. Mark the two shafts so they go together in the same relationship to each other that you take them off. This will help keep the balance of the shafts. You may want to think about replacing the three knuckle bearings while you are at it.
