The last time I exchanged my rear axle assembly, I supported the car on the
front of the rear spring mounts, removed the u-bolts and with the axle
housing supported by a jack, I removed the one rear spring mount.  Then I
jacked the axle housing up a small amount to clear the remaining spring and
pulled the jack towards the dropped spring and out the back.  Works just
fine and means you only have to reconnect one spring.  Don't forget the
brake connections!
