The job is best done with a floor jack under the differential. That way, you can lower the differential to remove the cover and clips, then raise it to improve the axle geometry when it's time to remove the axle shafts. Then you can lower it when you replace the shaft seals. Then raise it to install the shafts. Lower to replace the cover. Raise it to reinstall the mount. None of which is particularly difficult.
