Rear suspension removal 4Motion

[VesselPal]

I've noticed that the rubber under my rear springs has disintegrated and I ordered those uprated powerflex ones. As I tow a lot and the van is loaded most of the year I also got 13mm spacers for the back.

This is a 4motion,

do I have to remove the cv axles to complete this task?
I know the FWD is easy to do at the back...

The advice from one of the well respected suspension specialists on the Forum is to use the OEM rubber seats, apparently they last longer.

Figured I'd give it a shot considering the genuine ones lasted 3 years and 150kkm.
