W123, 1980 240D Axle half shaft replacement: Wheels or not?

I am about to replace a CV half-shaft for the first time in my life. I've read the procedure a few times and think I understand it. One question for those who have done it: Is it really necessary to remove the wheels and calipers? According to this thread: Wheel bearing/axle post part 2
it is up to debate. I don't want to damage my car. Oftentimes, when I remove calipers (due to my ineptitude and lack of a proper spacer), I end up letting the pads in. I'd rather not take of the calipers if I wont damage them by changing out the axle.

Also, any tips abouch changing a half-axle not mentioned in Haynes or Chiltons? Thank you.
