    open the rear up.
    Find and remove the pinion bolt. If you don't see it, rotate one of the axles till you find it. Its a small thing, 1/2 or 7/16 head.
    Pull the pinion pin out.
    Do not turn the axles.
    push straight in on the axles and pull the C clip retainer out.
    Slide the axles out.

    the slide hammer is to remove the outer axle bearings, which I highly suggest replacing along with the axles if they're damaged.

      Easy enough. Should I do the bearings just in case?

          Absolutely do the rear bearings. I'd really suggest rebuilding the whole rear, pinion bearing and seal, inner bearings, outer bearings, outer seals. At a bare minimum, do the outer bearings and outer seals. Make sure you inspect those axles closely, they have a habit of pitting and grooving. If they're worn out, you have to replace them otherwise they will make noise. Repair bearings don't seem to work very well on these.

            another question, what is the brake rotor interchangabilty for the rears? I noticed on ADTR's site that the offer slotted rotors, and one is made for 95-02, and another 98-02. Are all rotors from 92 up interchangeable? The only difference is the caliper mounting setup right?

              well if one fits 95-02 and the other fits 98-02, they should be the same. Honestly I know of no difference in any of the rotors from 92-02.
