lol, axles are easy. I just took mine out yesterday in like 20 mins. That's including jacking the car up. Try taking out the trans too with no air tools or dropping rebuilding and putting a motor back in on the ground with minimal air tools.

by the way I was able to get it out in about an hour. that includes jacking up the car in all 4 corners, draining the tranny fluid, and removing those ******* axles...
its also my first time...

seriously, dashes do not want to come out as planned. It's not really me hating on changing parts, its the time involved in doing so. For instance, power windows/mirrors, that is a bitch. You have to remove the WHOLE ******* INTERIOR minus the dash. *sigh*, i'm glad its done and over with.
