Smile How to take apart a 8.8" 3.55 axle????

First time tearing into this. The passenger side seal blew and the outer wheel bearing burned up. Now I can grab the flange and wiggle it with 3/8" of slack.

Haven't opened it up yet but wanted to get some pointers. Is it the usual C clip affair? Do I need to remove the backing plate? etc? Any pics or anything would greatly help

Specs:
8.8" ring gear
3.55 ratio
Open diff
Drum brakes
Comes off 4.2L 2000 F-150 XL supercab
