Assuming you have a complete pumpkin you are trying to swap out, simply follow a clutch removal how-to like this one and when you get the driveline lowered down, throw a stand under the trans, lower the cradle off from the differential, undo the bolts that hold the differential to the trans, and pull it off.

You need special tools to rebuild the differential
