I think I had my HDs on when I did this the first time and certainly the second time. The trick is that you need a second floor jack underneath the brake rotor or hub to compress the shock just the right amount while the car is already on jack stands. It is definitely doable, as I'm a complete clutz and did it twice. On second thought, I may have taken the tranny out before I removed the CVs the second time, but I know it's doable with the tranny in there.
