This is not advisable as the car will not operate without them.
Spider gears are the side gears in a differential - the little gears that divide the input power between the two wheels.
You need to remove a bolt inline with the axles on the spider gears which holds the center pin in place. Remove the pin, rotate the spider gears to the other side. Now move the axles inward to reveal the c-clips and use a hemostat to remove. Of course the the truck is up on jacks with the tires removed.

Some axles have adjusters on the inside that need loosened, others require a spreader to spread the axle assembly enough for removal.
