The nut that holds the differential to the transmission on the drivers side needs to be removed first from the stud. Flip the nut over and thread it back on the stud, now take the removed nut from the other side and thread it onto the stud. Now take two 15mm wrenches and lock the nuts together ( called double nutting it) and then turn the inner nut in a fashion to remove the stud/nut assembly. The stud will remove fairly easy then the LH side cover can be removed. The reverse procedure will need to be done for the install. Hope this helps.
