Back the bolts out a bit, leave the socket on the bolt head and wail on it with a BFH, alternate bolts till it comes out.

There is a C clip inside the carrier for that one side. It is a bit tricky to get out, but try 2 long smaller flat heads and push it in to the diff, and then use a magnet to remove, is the easiest I found.

Yes. But you will need a new seal for inside the diff (just inside where the pass side carrier bearing is. I typically put two (one then the other) to help make sure it seals thoroughly...

Ok I have an 88 and I'm trying to swap axle shafts I swapped the hole hub and shaft from the 92 into 88 the axle housing
The hub on the 92 is bigger then the 88 so I tryed swapping rotors and they didn't fit then went to try a hole new brakes set up
Rotors pad caliper and they won't fit
So now I need to swap the 92 hub itself for an 88 hub to fit my brakes

You REUsed All your existing items from your OE axle expect the Shafts, ujoints, and add a inner axle seal.
