Will I have to pull the exhaust to get the axles clear ??

Hi Dwight.
Very easy to take the axles out with the hubs on the car.
You will need to remove the cats.
When I did the job, passenger side came out easy, driver side neede proswation
Needed to use PB bluster to lobricate the splin, and hit it with a heavy hammer.
When you undo the nut, leave it on the shaft, and bang on it.
You will need to use new nut anyway.
Good luck.
