Heres what you need to do in order
1st. Pull rear wheels and tires off
2nd. remove the upper 3 link screw from the top of the diff, and pull the upper link out of the way.
3rd. remove the lower link screws from both side of the axle, and pull the lower links out of the way
4th. remove the shocks screws from the axle, and pul the shocks out of the way.
5th. the axle should now be completely free.
6th. pull the wheel hexes off the ends of the axles, and pull the pins underneath them out. set them aside
7th. remove the 2 small screws at each end of the axle.
8th. pull the axle "C's" off of each end of the axle.
9th. push the axle stub shaft out of the "C's", being carefull not to lose the small black o-ring that is inside the stub shaft.
10th. pull firmly on the axle retainer to remove the axle from the axle housing.
11th. pull axle shaft out of retainer, and then remove bearing from shaft.
12th. remove 4 small housing screws from around "diff"
13th. seperated axle halves
14th. pull out the ring gear assembly
15th. remove screw in center of pinion gear, and pull pinion gear out
16th. slide driveshaft from axle housing.
17th. Remove both bearings from ring gear assembly
18th. remove 4 small phillips head screw from both sides of ring gear assembly.
19th. remove white plastic locker retainer plates aside (one side will be diffrent, it has an extra piece, nothing to worry about)
20th. pull out plastic lockers.

Now you have completely re-assembled the axle/diff. If your lockers are broken, replace with new lockers and follow steps for diss-assembly in reverse for re-assembly.

Be sure to use some good grease when you do re-assemble
