Axle out -inwards?

Great article.
Have read it a few times before I embark on changing the CV boots. I get the idea of dropping it at the transmission end having removed the sway bar and lowered the exhaust, and I can see how with removal of the inner CV joint you can work backwards towards the outer one.
Why cant you use this method to remove the whole shaft from the vehicle by removing the axle nut and pushing the whole shaft inwards and out under the gearbox. Seems this would avoid any messing with the various hub links risking putting your geometry out. And even if only for the boot change would allow an easier job by being able to get it on the bench. What have I missed?
