You mean like the entire procedure? I would recommend your friend purchase a service manual and read through the steps. It's not rocket science. They will need a good floor jack and jack stands.

There are a few different ways to approach this repair. Getting a service manual and running a quick search will shed a lot of light on the procedure.

Read this:

The only thing I would change is to break the axle nut (36mm) before you jack up the truck. That way you don't have to put it in 4x4 or anything.
