In my opinion the best way is to have the axle on a stand or fixtured on a bench. That way one can rotate the pinion facing down and gravity assists in holding things, then you can drop the carrier in and not drop an AAM 11.5 carrier and ring gear and have it roll down your arms and legs lol. Also by removing the whole rear (or front), good time to change the u bolts if they have been.
This engine stand fixture works ok, have some gripes with it, but works well enough.
This is what I’d like to build, need to acquire or build a solid table/bench first though. Really nice to establish a solid reference plane to do shock mount/spring perch/knuckle clocking type work to make sure the angles will be correct.
