Bill Schwab is an unknown quantity at this point
Jeff:

If you are going to do an whole axle, all it has will be 4 u-bolts, bolted inside the springs. Unhook the backing plates to the brakes, and you should be able to leave them as assemblies, then wire them somehow so they don't dangle (this would tear a brake line) pull the axle, and slide in the new one. Torch the U-bolts off, don't even waste your time trying to unbolt them, and replace the U-bolts. Should take about an hour for the whole job, 2 hours if you are alone.
