undo the bottom ball joint - 2 bolts and a nut at each side, then seperate where they sit.

then knock the shafts out of the box with something, using the lip on the green bulky part of the shaft -

get someone to pull the wheels away from the car while you manoeuvre the shafts out - easy as that you don't even need another person just makes it easier

Don't forget to drain the box oil! Otherwise it could get messy! Lol
