Like this?
I obviously know you have to disconnect the brake lines, and handbrake (not sure how this comes out the caliper), what next, unbolt the diff hanger and beam and prop or????

Not entirely sure, however...

You need to loosen the cable at the handbrake end (just behind g-box above the propshaft), and unhook it there so you get enough play to remove the eyelets off the calipers.

Hope this helps a bit.
