Take your Bearing caps and races and install back on the same side the as they came off of. Reinstall the ring gear, using new ring gear bolts. Get the first one in, the rest will go smooth. Slide the pins in the access slot, with the nipple part up, toward the open area. I found it easier to install the cam gear on the ring gear mounting side first. Do not install the pins or springs at this step. Make sure you install the spacers before you install the cam gears into the carrier. Make sure the thrust side washer are on the axle gears. It help the metal soak up some before going in. I like to presoak parts in fresh, clean gear oil. You can discard these washers and gears, as well as the old side gears. I reused mine, that came in the master install when I regeared about 2 months ago. You will need to reuse your side gear thrust washers, or buy new ones. Make sure that the thrust washers are also removed. Once the bar pin is out, remove the spider gears and side gears. I reccomend using a new one, but its up to you.

Strike the knuckle around the tie rod end, to loosen it up. Remove the coter pin, then the castle nut, 3/4" socket will do. Remove the caliper, removing the caliper slide bolts, using the 1/2" or 13mm socket. Remove both front tires, and find a good place to store them for the time being. Support the axle with some good jackstands. Perferably where there is some music and a fridge with a few beers close by. Start off by moving your junk into a place that it can be worked on.
