revisit to shattered 10bolt

[dammitmitchell]

ok so i wont do my psuedo swearing anymore sorry

but what would be the easiest way to do this? the chiltons dosent cover my solid frints and i dont feel like "experimenting" so i'll admit my own naivete and ask. . .
would it be easier to just drop the balljoints and remove the whole spindle and do the spindle work on a bench?
then pop the diff cover remove the bolts clips etc and then remove the axel and do the seal ?
is there a reference on how to maintain my warn hubs?
