from my readings, it appears these 6 serrated bolts are really hard to remove. My question is, instead of removing the serrated bolts that connects the shaft to the joint, is it possible to remove the locking ring inside the differential to free up the joint and pull out the axle shaft as a whole assembly including the joint - this without removing the 6 serrated bolts? Is this possible?

My objective is to swap the axle shafts (Left/Right)
