drivetrain/output shaft help! please! please!

[sw20>>s14]

yes, i didnt search. im at my gfs house who has 56k. it took long enough to make this post...i really need help! my car is on the brink of being towed from my gfs house...
about a week ago, i spun out and bent my pass rear lower control arm and traction bar. the day before i picked up all the necessary parts...
so im switching the lower control arm and everythings going cool, but the spindle is pressed into the lower, so i had to switch spindles too. so i took everything off the bent spindle, removed the humungo axle nut, took all the bars off the crossmember (left them connected to the spindle), removed all four hub bolts (thought i would remove the hub/bearing assembly first, no luck), etc. the only thing holding the spindle/hub/bars assembly is the output shaft. the output shaft is still threaded on the hub...took a mallot to it, pulled a couple back/groin muscles, etc....
is there something im missing? or am i just weak? are there any tricks or tools that would make this a lot easier? im trying to avoid removing the output shaft from the diff because im doing this at my gfs house with minimal tools/jack/jackstands and i dont want to die...this one step of removing the shaft is taking a lot of time that is much needed...

and just while im on it, is there a "right" (by right, i mean easy) way to install the output shaft back on the hub? any help would be greatly appreciated, keep my broke ass back on the streets! thanks in advance for any tips!
