This is just for information's sake, since I had to pull mine out to check it but couldn't find any real write-up on how to do it beforehand. Hopefully this will save some people a few minutes of searching or confusion.
I don't have any pics, but assuming you installed it in the first place, you'll probably know what I'm talking about.
And who knows, these instructions can probably be adapted to Aussie/Lockrite/other lunchbox lockers too.
1) Remove the 12mm retaining pin and the pinion shaft from the carrier.
2) Those spring-loaded pins pushing the drive plates apart have to be retracted. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry on the side of the pin so it moves away from the other drive plate. Lever it far enough to slip another flat head in and push it all the way into its home drive plate. Secure it with the chunk of wire, just like during the install.
3) Retract the remaining pins using the screwdriver method and insert the retaining wires so the drive plates are floating free.
4) Stick a flathead screwdriver in the space between the non-ring-gear-side drive plate and the axle plate and work around in there until that spacer thing backs away from the axle shaft and you can dump the c-clip out.
5) Slide the axle out 6 inches or so.
6) Remove the non-ring-gear-side drive plate and spacer. Remove the axle plate.
7) Now remove the other drive plate and spacer, remove the c-clip, slide out the axle, and remove the axle plate.
