It is a fairly easy operation so listen closely, removed the deferential cover, rotate the third member carrier until you find the bolt that locks in the lock pin it will be 10 mm or 3/8 is very small, remove the lock pin that is in the center of the differential, pushed one of the axles in words and you will hear the C lock drop out, if not get underneath the truck and remove it with your fingers then pull the axle straight out, repeat the process on the other side, and repeat for reassembly.
