9 bolt disc posi help me

I have an 89 firebird formula and it has a bent drivers axle shaft. How do I remove the axle shaft? I have the wheel and diff cover off. The rear end has disc brakes and aposi unit. Maybe 3.55 gears. This is going to be my daily driver, so I need to get it fixed fast. Any help would be great.

Like Ede said, its actually pretty easy! The hard part is getting the axle to come out after you get the bolts off. If they haven't been pulled recently they'll need some help.

The hardest part will be to locate replacement axle shafts. Do you have some? The Drivers and Pass side are different.
