Front axle on 200

I agree - but I'm not going to mess with changing the joint. IMO, that's a
waste of time.  I'll just get a rebuilt axle assy with new joints from a
Denver-area rebuilder.  So what I pull out will be replaced intact by a
rebuilt axle assy.  I just want to assure that I don't end up stuck halfway
because the axle won't pull out of the hub or some such.
