Default Anyone know to to get my rear axle out?

i looked on Ondemand5 but their instructions confused the hell out of me.

im trying to get my diff out of the old truck because its a 6 month old posi and put it in the new truck that has an open rear.


hopefully someone can give more clear directions. i have it down to the point its just the hub and the 4 bolts behind them are off

I suppose the whole axle is rather plug and play. Why not swap the whole rear end?
