85 axle, rear driveshaft not on yet. can I remove the 3rd member first, or do I have to remove the axles. right now I am broke, so I don't have the money for a knuckle rebuild kit yet. I still have to lift the rear of the truck, so any money I have will go to some mazda springs or blocks. I have access to a rear 3rd member from the truck i got the front axle from, so I will probably use that.
