I just did this repair a week ago and I didn't have to take out the shocks to do this job.
Basically once you get the axle into the differential I put the c-clip back onto the axle. Then I raised the differential up to get the other side of the axle into the wheel hub.
It takes a LOT of messing around with to get them into the hubs. Basically when I was pushing it in I had to push the boot down and then pull inward. The motion of pulling inward made the axle go back up so I had to push it back down. Eventually I got it in
I know those cheap axles are tempting to buy, but consider buying rebuilt axles from CVJ denver. CVJ Axles - Remanufactured Axles & Power Racks
Call and ask them for a quote. I've had them on for about 500 miles and no problem as of yet :thumbsup:
