From this website http://chevyhiperformance.com/techar...148_0207_bolt/ :

Remove the rearend cover and drain the 3 quarts of gear oil. Next, extract the cross-shaft bolt (A) and cross-shaft (B). Then, spin the rearend until the ends of the axles are visible inside the carrier. Locate the axle C-clips and remove them by pushing the axles in toward the center to free them.
Or better yet, from the sticky at the top of this page:

Don't forget to pull the ABS sensor or you won't be able to get the c-clips out...just pull the sensor (1 bolt) and slide the axles all the way in...they'll fall out after that...

Trust me, it's frustrating if you forget to remove them...I spent forever trying to determine how I was going to get those clips out...

Eventually I searched on here and found the answer...
