I assume you already have the hubs and spindles off. The drivers side should pull right out of the diff, the passenger side has an accordian boot with clamps at both ends. Remove the outer most clamp and the axleshaft should pull right out. Sometimes they can be a little sticky you can stick a prybar on the backside of one of the ears on the u-joint of the axleshaft, and pry against the housing... it should pull right out. When putting the passenger side back together, make sure to clean and grease the splines on the axleshaft end that goes into the accordian boot. The center u-joint you might be able to change in the truck. I either pull the diff housing out, or drop the entire drivers side TTB assembly out of the truck... not much fun. Hope this helps!

Oh... you have the flange hubs. You'll have to change out a lot to convert to the other style hubs. If the gear ratio in the Bronco matches your truck, just swap out the whole axle. It's a lot less work.
