So, I went to a junk yard over the weekend and pulled a pinion and ring gear housing from a junked 1994 Trooper. I tried to pull one from a 2000 model Trooper and realized it was a little bigger than mine and the housing didn't look like it would fit. But I wanted to see if it was the same method to pull the housing as the 1994 model, so I kept at it to try to remove the housing.
1994 model removing item "2" from the exploded sketch you provided was only necessary on the passenger side.
2000 model removing item "2" was necessary on both sides of vehicle.
Another thing I noticed on the 2000 model and didn't notice on the 1994 model is that it had both drum and disk brakes on the same wheel. The disk brakes housed the drum brakes. That is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Okay maybe not the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
