Block the front tires and set rear end up on jack stands. Remove the rear diff cover and drain all the old fluid out. Turn a tire until u see a small 7-8MM bolt head on the main ring gear carrier. This single bolts holds the larger (approx 1") pin between the axle shafts. Then slide the axle in until the C-clips falls out or you might have to take a small screws driver and remove it. Now you can remove the entire axle. I would also recommend you replace the axle seal at this time. Reinstall everything in reverse order, reseal the diff cover with silicon & add new 75W140 gear oil (approx 2.5 qrts). If your SUV is a limited slip you will also need to add a single bottle of friction modifier for the clutches in the rear carrier.
