Default removing the rear axles??? PLEASE HELP

Ok so im an idiot... I cant seem to figure out how to remove my rear axles... it looks like you have to remover the C clip inside the spider gear then pull it out but the C clip looks like its in a grooze that can not be popped off in its current state.. PLEASE someone give me the process for removing the axles.. Also the bolts on the ring gear are reverse thread right?

The bolts in the ring gear should be right hand thread....

To get the c-clips out all you do is pull the center pin then push the axles in to expose the c-clip. At this point it usually falls out, but if it doesn't, just grab it with some needle nose pliers.

Ok so the bolts are left hand thread.... i tried the new bolts on the new ring gear.. Left hand..... anyway i understand that the pin in the center holds it all in... how do you get the pin out? its held in by something.. i bolt i am assuming..

There should be one bolt holding the pin in...probably need an 8 mm socket or wrench(or close to it) to remove it. Once that bolt is out, you can usually push the bolt out with your finger. If not you can tap it out with a hammer. If you don't see the bolt that holds the pin in it could be on the opposite side of the pin...try turning the whole diff 180 degrees.
