with the cover off you need to spin the toke until you see a horizontal bolt holding a wedge in the center of the torsen. once you remove the bolt, remove the wedge. that will let you push the axle shaft in about half an inch. once you push in the shaft there will be a c clip that prevents it from sliding out. easiest way to get that c clip out is with a little magnet. remove the c clip and the shaft should slide right out.

Just like 01ssreda4 said: Have to remove the speed sensors if the car has TCS. I did not remove them and the axle was hitting them as I was pushing it in. They are simple to remove from the backing plate though.
