Have you got a full floating or semi-floating rear end?

Either way its not hard to do. If full floating - yeah you got the idea (undo bolts on hubs and pull out axles), if semi-floating just take the plate off the back of diff pull out clips holding in axles from there.

Then just remove drive shaft and diff head - and replace in opposite order. Simple

This is a full floating axle with the hub sticking out, a semi-floating axle dosent have a hub and the end of the axle is flush with the inside of the rim, dissasembly is as MNC said

The best thing you could do is buy a workshop manual off trademe. Should get one for under $20 and it'll explain with pictures what you should be doing. That's how I've learned - and if there aren't enough pictures there are always heaps of cruiser guys on here to help out

damn shame, coz a few of the welly boys were over there helping william hamilton the other weekend

get hold of william, he should know how tochange diffs by now

otherwise you have to get all the bits, all the beer, all the food, and put out a mass invitation and folks will come, cheers
