I am currently working through this project, I'm doing the oil pump as well so I'm dismantling the front of the engine to get to the timing chain cover (super fun so far...) I tried dropping the axel last night, I took the two nuts and washers off of the passenger side, and as far as I can tell there are only two other bolt/nuts holding the actual dif case up there, do both of those need to come off as well? I know at some point I saw pictures on here of what to loosen/remove, but I can't for the life of me find that thread now.

Thanks for your help!
Yes, they will both need to come out but make sure your jack is under the differential because that thing is heavy!
