Just be aware that the shafts will have some pressure on them when you remove the flange bolts, and the inner u-joint caps...

I just looked at Brian's pic...that's the jack I was referring to...

I always lift the car off the wheels. Then the trailing arm assemblies try to swing in against the half shafts, but only with the weight of the assembly, so you can easily push it out as needed.

once the shafts are out check the diff yokes and make sure neither one comes out of the diff. our cars are bad about wearing the end off the inside of the shaft and dropping the snap ring
