Remove the half shafts completely.... the large nut on the hub, and 6 triple
square bolts at the trans output flange.  You will have to turn the wheels to
full lock to have the clearance needed to remove the shafts once the bolts are
removed.  You may want to remove your ABS sensors prior to removing the axles
to avoid possible damage.
Have fun!

PS: If you don't own triple square drivers, you can get them locally at "Tool
King."
