SOURCE: remove front axle from differential on 2003 dodge ram
That works fine on a relatively new vehicle but one that has run in salt etc you'll save a lot of time if you remove the steering knuckle completey by separating lower ball joint and outer tie rod end ball joint and bring the whole steering knuckle to a bench to separate the hub/bearing. Soak everything with penetrant, loosen the bolts a few turns and try hitting right on the bolt heads. I also made a very sharp wedge from a chisel and rammed it hard on the other side to seoarate the hub. It will finally come apart then you'll see all the **** that was binding it due to an alumininum knuckle re-acting with a steel hub. Clean the hole and grease everything and fit new bearings
SOURCE: need to replace front differential or gear set
Not complicated but too long to write. You can get a manual from chiltons, haynes etc that has good instructions for this. Likely if you are reasonably good with tools, you could figure it out. Most important part of the job is getting a differential with the exact same gear ratio to match the rear. (usually there is a metal tag on one of the cover bolts or count the number of teeth on both the ring gear & pinion gear.) Make sure axle tubes are the same length and don't forget to bleed brakes when you are finished. Need any help along the way, just ask...I'm here!

It's not easy to put them back, but if you get the side gears in position with the axles bumped out as far as you can, the smaller spider gears can be "walked" into place. Try having your buddy rotate one of the wheels slowly until each one fits in. It's tricky but you'll get it.
SOURCE: how do you remove the front differential gears on
it is a 5/16 wrench. take that out and the pin will slide out.

The bolts that hold everything in once out is very easy to replace. It islike removing a big turkey from the ovenwith the up most care.. The only trick is to remov the screw inside the pin holding the side gears in place which is inside the carrier housing
