Removing the diff is relatively easy
Jack up the rear end and support on stands
Drain the diff
Remove the right rear wheel
Remove the 2 bolts (8 mm Allen) that hold on the rt rear caliper and hang the caliper
out of the way
Remove the 4 bolts (8 mm Allen) that hold the rt rear hub bearing to the trailing arm,
they are found through the hole in the hub, you will need light to find them while rotating
the hub
In dealing with these Allen bolts I use a long (5") 8 mm Allen key on a 3'8 socket
I recommend Snap on
Spray the hole in the bolt with WD 40 and tap the Allen key in with a hammer
You will need a 3/8 to 1/2 adaptor and a long 1/2"ratchet or bar as these bolts can be
tight and rusted
Depending on the amount of corrosion the axle assy may just about fall out or you may need
an explosives expert,... a loop of chain fastened to wheel studs with a sledge hammer
inside the loop and a good swing should jerk it out if stuck
Undo the exhaust hanger at the diff
Remove the 4 nuts (16 or 17 mm) that hold the diff to the torque tube ....it can be tricky
getting at the upper nuts
The diff will slide back it would be good to have help holding it up will you push the drive shaft
off the splines and back into the torque tube
You can the move the diff to the right off the left axle splines
I think this can be done without removing the spare tire carrier but I'm not positive
To remove the drive shaft from the torque tube you need to remove the carrier for sure.
But if you just want to remove the driveshaft and bolt the diff back up for towing an automatic
a long distance, you do not need to remove the right axle.
Just undo the diff and carrier and slide it back and let it hang on both axles

Hello to Bob Bruce, thanks, and a question;
Thanks for the diff. ratios and ID letters - where on the case does one
find said letter? Also, any tricks of the trade for R&R on these units?
And about how long could one expect to take having never done the job
before?
Thanks, Tom Woods, with a problem in my rear-end...............
