Looks like $35 total from the local junk yard. How do I get the rear axles off?

Aerostar left rear axles
on an aerostar you need passenger side axles, not drivers..

there diff is offset so the correct length on the ranger rear ends is the driver side, the correct length on the aerostars is the passenger side
