Thanks ZTWsquared, et al.
I appreciate your feedback. If you can find the procedure that would be appreciated. I didn't expect it to be too difficult - but it is always good to confirm that there isn't any gotchas along the way.
Thanks as well for the offer for the rebuilt. I had actually ordered a Cardone one from RockAuto and am just waiting for it to arrive.
Thanks GFXJamie. Just waiting for parts to arrive and then we'll tackle it.

Jamie - are there any hidden c-clips anywhere in there to be aware of?
And WNorkle - where are you located? I think I have an unused rebuilt axle somewhere in my stash.

Found our first problem already - passenger side CV joint / axle issue. Shaft is clunking. Grease everywhere. Serves me right for shopping near dark.
Looking for a DIY for removing/replacing the shaft. Appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
