I don't have a long handle 1/2" but I have a 3/8" breaker bar.
I had been planning to reuse bolts, is that wrong?

I would start the job with ramps or car on the ground to break free the bolts
that hold the axles to the output flanges. You have a long handle 1/2"
drive ratchet right? Are you reusing bolts or have new bolts? Do you have the
driver for the old bolts and socket for the new?

Just to get the axles out of the diff? I was under the assumption I could undo
the bolts and give 'em a little yank and they'd come right out. I was
planning to put a block or something for the axles to rest on (rather than the
ground while I yanked the diff and then just hook 'em back up like nothing
had happened.
Of course the diff hasn't arrived yet.... Maybe thats fortunate.

ramps?
Can't really do it from ramps, because the wheels usually
have to come off to liberate the axle shafts.
