"Axles in place"? Do you mean released from the hub? Meaning not in the spline?
I haven't read TIS, but Andrew's wheel bearing DIY indicated that you have to push the hub end of the axles inward toward the rear diff to get enough clearance with with wobble extensions and sockets to access the 4 e-torx bolt with enough torque.. Are you saying something different?
In my case, and I haven't tried yet, the axles look pretty fused in the splines. So pushing them in could require a ton (several actually) of effort. I might get lucky, its possible the 12 point nut corroded, but prevent moisture from getting into the splines.
A guy can dream can't he?
