You are going to need to remove the wheels, brakes, backing plates, then the axles come out (use a slide hammer). Then pull off the cover and unbolt the bolts holding in the carrier (2 bolts per side, can't miss them) and that will then come out.
Yes, switch the whole carriers.
Yes, switch the whole carriers.

The easiest thing to do is swap the complete rear end. When you start taking parts out of the rear end you will have to go through the complete set up procedure. You will have to set the pinion depth, backlash and bearing preload. Just swap the complete rear end and be done with it.
