FWIW, for some reason, one of my cars doesn't have enough clearance, even with the loose gland nut, to remove teh drive shaft from the diff. On that one, I have to remove the bolts from the driveshaft center support and let the entire shaft hang loose in the tunnel.
I saw that! But I've done that too. Finally, I modified an old wrench for that. Ground the opening to 46mm and cut it short. Worth the effort. What a PITA it is with a pipe wrench by comparison.

Warning, hijack!!...who here knows which axles besides the 2.47 came with limited slip? If I ever do this swap my primary motivation would be for the LS.
