Guidance on replacing a rear stub axle?

Hi folks. I've got an 82 280zx with a broken left rear stub axle. I've sourced a replacement used one in addition to fresh wheel bearings, but have honestly never taken on this job before. Any tips on doing this or perpaps even a link to a tutorial? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link, that's a great one. I went to replace the stub axle today but found that it was the wrong one. Argh!!! The spindle is just slightly larger in diameter than the one which came out so it won't allow the spacer and bearing on there. I was under the impression they were all the same regardless of which diff generation you have, but apparently not. Really frustrating. Now I have to begin the search anew for a correct one unless there's just something I'm missing.
