Posting a old email I received and didn't want the tip to get lost in the shuffle, and I'm not sure exactly where this belongs in the repair information:

The Instructions (in the manual) seemed very straight forward and simple but another step would help the next person tremendously.
After removing the outer drive axle screw, it would have saved me a lot of frustration and time to be told to "turn the wheels full left for the right hand axle" (besides disconnecting both control links which was also a necessary step, not an option). I tried turning the wheels to the right which gave me more clearance than a wheels straight approach but still had to fight to remove the axle. Before re-installing I decided to try turning the wheels full left and the axle slid right in. Just trying to make it easy for the next guy.
