We're replacing the gas tank due to leaking at the seam. Haven't gotten under it to look at the size of the job yet. Would it be easier to do the bushings at the same time?

You can get it out by just lowering the rear axel, To remove the rear axel you will also have to remove all the Brakes. Ebrake etc. You are 80% there. Re having exhaust - heat shield and driveshaft out. If they are in question then do it.

I didn't have to touch the rear axle when I changed mine. Drop the exhaust, drive shaft, and all the shields and it comes right out. It's still a total pain in the ass, but you don't have to mess with the axle.

I have a brand new gas tank for that car in my garage, but you're probably nowhere near Houston or you already have one...
And I agree with 16vCorey's assessment, though I never actually got around to swapping mine out when I had the car (obviously).
