I agree as well. I replaced mine from driveshaftshop.com. I highly recomend them, they were very nice and helpful and shipped overnight. Replacing the axel is fairly easy i would say anyone familiar with the suspension can tackle this. I have never tried exactly what was specified above, I take the complete supspension a part becuase I hate having it all in my way. This takes more time but for me it makes putting the axel back in easier.
