Clamp off the soft brake hose, unbolt the hard brake lines from the rear brake cylinders, unbolt the axles from the axle housing, pop axles out of housing a couple inches, drain diff, unbolt driveline and diff and then remove diff.  Just make sure you bleed the brakes good when you put it back together.

...then cuss yourself out for not removing the e-brake cables before you slid those axles out, now slide them back in an pop the pins out.
