You need to get the frame on blocks but so they don't interfere with the axle and the suspension. Then you need to remove the wheel and the axle nut. The ball joint needs to be taken apart by removing the cotter pin and the castle nut. Pry that apart and pull the wheel bearing off of the axle. With a screwdriver, pop the axle out of the tranny. Remove and put in the new one. Reverse the installation.
