Remove the wheels and brake drums. Drain the gear oil, remove the rear cover. There is a block held in by a special bolt between the axle shafts. Remove the block and the "C" clips on each axle. The axles can then be removed. Remove the drive shaft. Remove the bolts on the differential "pumpkin" and drop it out, preferably with a floor jack. Check your axle seals, bearings, & axle shafts for wear, etc. Reassemble in reverse order with new gaskets, sealant, & gear oil.
