I have all the tools (I think) and am getting ready to tackle this job, I want to pull the axles with the wheels left in place. While I have the axles out I want to repack and reboot them...my question to someone who has done this is how difficult is it to remove the rear axles with the hubs left in place so no alignment is necessary after the job is done ? Will I have to pull the exhaust to get the axles clear ??

THanks
