I can't remember which TM it is, but if you've ever done a wheel bearing or a 3/4-1ton truck with a full floating rearend, it's the same.
You just need to clean everything up, pack the bearings and put the right amount of preload on the bearings. I do them by feel, your mileage may vary.
I believe there is an oooooooold thread here written by member "h1crwchf" that detailed axle bearing preload with a LOT of detail. Try finding it, if you can't, I will look for it.
Don't be scared of it, it's an easy job. Heck, my dog helped me do my last pair.
