    Not much,let axle hang down as far as possible and remove when reinstalling diff rate spring it might be necessary to preload it a little but nothing you can't do with a well positioned floor jack

    The shocks will come off as a complete assembly, you may have to wiggle the swingarm a bit to pry the rubber bushings from the mounts.
