Think the reason why they say to undo the drums and loosen the back plates is becouse of the two shims that are between the hubs and the armoure if you dont loosen them off you will struggle to replace them when you put it back on. Trust me i have done this its not fun you can get around it with the use of a rachet strap but its not very safe Taking the axle off is fine it just drops out but watch out as your carrier will lift up as you drop it off.

yeah and make sure you remove the brass speedo cable union before you drop the axel or you will cry for a while..... personally i would pull the drums as it MAKES you check the assemblies within plus it takes a massive amount of weight off the axel to move it around.

each to their own though
