I don't have a picture, but can tell you what is involved. It is an involved process, but in general the following needs done.

Remove tire and brake assembly, remove differential cover, remove the axle retaining clip, remove the axle, remove seal from axle housing, and reverse the order to replace. Remember, when replacing the axle, you have to be very careful not to nick the seal.

Let me know if you have other questions.
