If it's the 10-bolt, you have to remove the rear cover, turn the pinion over so you can remove the 8mm bolt that holds the crosspin in.

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

It is the sensors that will stop the axle from going all the way in, otherwise you explained it damn good.
