That is a good thing.  Not sure why you took off the exaust though.  You should only have to take off one shock and the final drive.

Because my aftermarket exhaust goes DIRECTLY in front of the axel nut, making it impossible to spin off even if I used a crescent wrench to loosen it.

Got 'er done, took a couple pics.  I'm SOOOO glad I did this because the shop I had do my tire installed it with moly GREASE, not paste.  that seems fine for a few thousand miles, but I'm seeing red, frankly.  I was really surprised at how easy it was.  One more thing I'm comfortable doing, so I can just bring the wheel along for tire installation.  Whoo hoo!

Looks good... What does the license plate mean?  Is that a family name or something?   ???

That looks real good and helps out on the not so pretty side of an 1800.

Noun 1. provocateur - a secret agent who incites suspected persons to commit illegal acts
agent provocateur - a person secretly employed in the espionage of a government .

What's this? Are you in ca-hoots with Obama?

Morgan,
    Cool little pokey things on your final drive. Sort of Ben Hur-ish. Looks great.
