Started the 'dreaded' half-shaft replacement

Well I couldn't help myself today since it was one of those really nice late summer days when the weather was 'perfect', I got started replacing my passenger side half-shaft. I hope I don't regret doing it myself and not taking it to my Indy!

I've got the wheel side out of the spline but now I'm trying to get the rear cover off the diff. Do I have to lower the diff to get to the upper 15mm bolts on the cover or can I get to them with the proper socket and swivel combo? I have actually removed the hanging bracket that the rear of the diff attaches to but then realized there were four more bolts holding it up! And a couple of these puppies are not too easily reachable!

Any words o' wisdom would be greatly appreciated as I'm done for the night and may or may not do anything else to it the rest of the weekend! After all, it is a holiday!
