Once you pull the crosspin, rotate the pinion back over and push in on the axle. Remove the C-clip that is now accessible where the crosspin used to be, and pull the axle out. Repeat for the other axle.
If you have traction control, I think you have to remove some ring from the axles before you can pull it out, but I don't know for sure.

on the 10 bolt you take the cover off, unbolt the cover on the differential itself, push the axles in and pull the c-clip out of the diff. then they should slide right out and into the garbage
