It can be done with passenger side removal only. Most difficult part is going to be knocking the diff off of the cross shaft as it's held in with a c-clip. Don't try to remove the c-clip itself, there isn't enough room for it to be removed. Tech manual says to use a special tool...but long story short grab a chissel put between drift pin and cross shaft and smack it with a mallet. Diff will come right off.
