This made the most sense to me, though I went with new aftermarket axles.

If you do not feel the need to hold onto your prior units, I think this makes for as easier and cleaner process. Some folks are able to take things apart in-situ without much problem, but it seems the majority run into brutal time sinks or get stuck completely when trying to separate things. My experience getting the full axle assemblies out and back in was not too bad, and fairly clean.

to do cv boot you have to mess with the axle while its off trying to get snap ring off and everything else.

Much easier to drive the heck out of the axle and than replace the whole thing.

Please correct me if i'm wrong. thanks
