There are snap rings on the ends of the shafts you access from the differential. Take em out should slide out.

you dont need to touch the snap rings. The shafts just need to be popped out. Sometimes they can be stubborn so use a long prybar and work around all edges of the shaft

I got one side off but the other side is really stuck. After you get them out how do they go back in?
