you reccomend not removing the tie rod end when removing axles? i guess it might not be necessary, but its also not necessary to remove your AEM intake while pulling your engine either.

Yep or you could just unbolt the control arm from the frame and not even worry about those ball joints.

Yeah you don't really need to. I've done two axles without disconnecting either time.
