   i'd think the oil would be easier than doing the shafts

   yeah believe you lose some oil when taking the seals out, you may aswell drain it before you do the shafts an seals

   oil will come out when you take a driveshaft out so might as well just drop the oil before you start.
   
   The driveshaft seals on the gearbox will come out no trouble.
