Default output shaft

Can you replace the pasenger side output shaft without removing the differential from the car? If so does anyone have any diy directions.

Thanks

It cannot be done. The pass side cover can be removed but there is a metal block (one of the stud is threaded to this block) inside the main housing and the carrier with the output shafts cannot be removed without first removing this block. The diff has to be removed from the trans and the 2 7mm bolts removed in order to take the block out.
