No, you do not, though it would be much easier on a lift.
BTW, what vehicle are you asking about?
I changed the half-shafts on our W123 240D/3.0 when we were
My 05 e320. crawling underneath the car up on jackstands has lost its
allure. This may be something I fix with my checkbook.

Put the back up on stands, loosen the diff from its support bracket and
let it down a bit (I think with a jack?) which frees up the axles to
slide out/in. You need to take off the diff cover to get at some
retainer rings in there (quite fiddly, I remember that part!), so make
sure you can get

The outer joint on a half shaft is bad.
Replace with a good used one or new -- new is expensive. "rebuilt" is
usually junk.

W124 the axles bolt to a cup on the side of the diff, you don't have
to open it up. Hexhead bolts, though.
Not a bad job except that the exhaust has to be dropped on the
driver's side to get the half shaft out.
Just changed one on my brother's 300E a couple weeks ago.

I would guess left side axle, which is loaded when you turn right.

No. It's not a bad job.
Last time I replaced an axle shaft (on a wagon) it took me
less than an hour from putting the jack under the car to the
car back on the ground. I've done it a few (too many) times.
And I
Less than an hour to do all that?? How would you like a free trip to D.C.?

Yeah, he did somewhere. 05 E320 i think. 211 maybe?
That's why I think it will need the triple square socket rather than
Good point. People, please include the YEAR and MODEL of your car, and if

I'm taking it ('05 e320) to my indy Friday to see what needs to be done.
When I called him and I described the symptoms as those that would lead to
axle replacement in a W123, he echoed many of the things y'all said knowing
this is a W211. We will see what he finds out.
