Marty,
You can turn the boot (dust shield) inside-out and then the entire axle
assembly will fit through the trailing arm. I can't help you with the diff
rebuild, but from what I understand, make sure that they are familiar with
this particular unit.

Subject: Rear Hubs
Hi everyone,
I'm working toward replacing my rear springs and trailing arm bushings. As I
was disassembling the first side, I has some difficulty removing the hub
assembly from the car. I disconnected the hub assembly from the diff and the
trailing arm, but I could not remove it from the car because the dust
shield
wouldn't fit thru the opening in the trailing arm. I removed the wire on the
boot covering the yoke/spline and got it out that way.
Is there an easier way to remove the hub without removing the boot and it
separating into two parts (or is that the way it is supposed to come out)?
Also, now that one side is apart, what kind of lubricant do I use on the
spline when I reassemble it?
Also, how much should I look to spend for a diff rebuild? Once I get both
trailing arms off it would be pretty simple (I think) to get the diff out,
send it for a rebuild and check the mounts.
Thanks
