Don't need to remove the sump.

You need to remove both front driveshafts.

Then you need to move the shaft that runs through the sump; undo the six bolts on the passenger side flange, and move the shaft sideways towards the passenger side.

Then remove the front cover plate on the diff housing; the crown wheel and centre will come out.

If you need to swap the pinion gear, first remove the front drive shaft (the one coming forward fromn the transfer housing). Then you need to lock the flange against the sump (a cold chisel works well) and get a B I G breaker bar to undo the pinion retaining nut; the pinion gear removes through the front of the housing.

There are other threads on pulling the drive shafts. And once you get in there and LOOK, all will become clear.
