take off the wheels
unbolt rear cover and drain nasty stuff (gear oil)
Take off the rear calipers and rotors.
Unbolt the abs sensor or you wont' be able to push in the axle far enough to show the c-clip.
rotate the diff so you can see into the middle of it.
have a buddy push in the axle so it takes the tension off the c-clip and grab it with a magnetic pickup tool.

reverse to install.

Oh this is a good time to check your axle bearings.

and when removing and installing the axles please use 2 hands so you don't tear up the axle seals.
