Jack up and support the rear axle on jackstands, remove the wheels, drain the gear oil, remove the rear cover, remove the cross shaft retaining pin and cross shaft, block and spacer, bump the axle shaft inward to release the pressure on the c-clips, remove the c-clips that retain the axles and slid the axles out six to eight inches if not all the way, unbolt the driveshaft, unbolt the third member/differential to the axle housing, seperate from the axle.
Good luck!

Very clearly coverd in a factory service manual...
Hopefully your ' friend ' still has the instructions for r&r of the little ARB goodies to get the axles out...otherwise contact cruisinGA, he just did this!

swapping the third member will be the easiest way. if you pull the locker itself, you'll have to setup the gears again.
What is he doing about a compressor? See if he has the ARB unit. Get that too
as part of the deal. He won't need it.

for comp. and locker, 800 sounds good to me
