Summerize the difficulity of the mod here. Written by kizer,

To make sure you have the correct set screw look at the above picture. Its the set screw just above the opening where your spider gears are.
You might need to loosen the set screw all the way and then again turn your driveline until the set screw is at the very top so you can pull it out.
Now with the set screw removed the pinion mate gear shaft should nearly fall out. Set it aside on a clean surface because you have to re-install at a later date.
Now with the pinion mate gear shaft removed you should be able to remove your "C" clips to pull your axle shafts. Now burn this image into your head because the next picture will be what it looks like when you push your axle in.
Here is the drivers side axle pushed in exposing the "C" clip on the left side.
I used a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the "C" clip.
Here is the infamous "C" clip.
I had a buddy pull the axle for me while I shot this.
Use a 14mm socket and remove the 4 nuts holding the stock backing plate on. Place a piece of paper towl in the axle shaft hole to limit any debris from entering the axle tube.
Put the 4 nuts back on the ends of the axle tube. You dont want to loose them. For some odd reason I forget to push a rag or piece of paper towl into the axle tube. Anyways do it to save you the work of cleaning it out later.
On the drivers side I reinstalled the upper control arm for temporary use. I didn't want the axle to rotate when I removed one of the 2 only control arms.
Use a pair of 7/16ths wrenches and remove the axle side.
Heres what the drill template looks like from NthDegree. You can use their online measurements, but I decided I'd rather pay for the template than to pay to have new control arms because I drilled it incorrectly.
Use the existing bolt and place a 1/4 bolt to act as a guide. Drill into the single feather hole with a 1/4 drill bit.
This is the upper hole drilled with a 1/4 bit to act as a pilot hole for the bigger bits up to 9/16ths.
Use the drill template on the side of the control arm aligning with the previously drilled 1/4 pilot hole.
After the 1/4 bit I steped up using several bits until I used a 9/16ths drill bit. In addition the 9/16ths bit cost me 14bucks and I didn't want to take a chance of breaking it.
