Andrew when you sling it up use a second sling to go around the diff input then when ithas just gone through the hull you can remove the sling and guide it in place. i did my axle on my own with a trolley jack and a block and tackle the block and tackle was used to keep the input part of the diff level. as for the shims i placed them in situ and then picked the holes to line up with a screwdriver you could tack them in place with some silicone sealant if they prove to be troublesome. either way they MUST go back in or you risk causing stress cracks in the lower hull
have fun and watch your toes !!!
