you pop the rear cover, and youll see the planatary gears (spider gears) the pin they ride on must come out via a bold on the side f the carrier youll see it. slide that pin out rotate the axle untill they slide out then you can get the c-clips that hold the axles in place out. when there out slide the shaft out and get drillin! take about 20-25 min to do not that involved. hope that helps ya -kyle
