Lift car as high as possible with trolley Jack under diff.
Place two decent axle stands under rear cross member just inboard of springs.
Lower trolley Jack so axle is held in the air by springs.
Then raise slightly too remove spring pins.Then the Axle.
I always check fit of pin in spring bushes and replace if necessary.
I find a 30degree taper on end of pin helps with re assembly.
If you have spring off the car it is worth a trial assembly before fitting to car
When you place axle back in car a trolley Jack is useful in adjusting height to get pins in.connect front end loosely until all bolts and pins are in.
Some springs are sloppy in axle location sideways I shim with a washer
Just been checking around car today and found most axle bolts not quite tight must have been that trial I did the other week.
