Truth be told, I have never have had to do this. I have had my OEM Locked diff & Axle in and out many times. I do know that you won't be able to get the diff out with any amount of the axle still stuck in there.
I can't find the thread but I have read about this issue and they cut in the back. I did find this thread and they also talk about cutting the back in the splash guard
You don't want to cut into the OEM truss on the bottom of the housing you want to keep above that.![]()
