[Spridgets] Axing the axle

[Bob Spruck]

Yes, it's not really very difficult. Look at the parts and it becomes 
rather obvious and simple.

However, I would support the body on jack stands and then support the 
axle on jack stands while your removing all the attachment bolts. Use 
your jack to lower the axle and slide it out on dollies or the jack 
itself. Be careful. Be safe. The parts are heavy and unwieldy.
