pull your rear cover off and take the s spring out then you will be able to remove the c-clip, your axle when then pull out.

Welded up Limited slip? Very confused on that one? You mean welded up spider gears?

thats a tuffy, you might not be getting them out =) Especially if the spider gears get welded to the sides of the carrier.

this is a clipit from another post i made actually about installing gears

Start by removing the differential cover. Make sure you got some kinda pan underneith the axle, gear oil is going to go everywhere. Once you get this far, spin the carrier around until you see the Cross shaft bolt shown here...

With the cross shaft removed the C-Clip port should be in view, Push in one of the axles and remove the C-Clip. Use needle nosed pliers or just your hands to pull the C-clips out. Pull out the axle shafts and being careful not to nick the seal. Do it for both sides.
