Anyone know how to tell what length my axle is? Local Napa can get me ONE of the two they have listed after 1230 today. One is listed as 24 13/16" length, the other is 26..something. The shorter is all they have. The other is not available anywhere in the supply chain.

I hate to be nearly useless, but I am juggling work as well. Does anyone know what list of tools I need to round up? Not sure if the inner joint is removed with a "tri-square" tool as per Porsche/VW/etc. The outside I believe is a single large nut. Not sure what size.

I assume I can undo both ends of the axle, drop the inboard end and slide out the outboard end. Anything I am missing?
