Default Replacing passenger drive axle.

I had my mechanically enhanced father in-law replace the drivers side drive axle a couple years back and now its time for the other one to fail.

I am wondering how difficult it would be to do myself. By no means am I a beginner but I do not have a whole lot of tools.

Do they still just pop out and back in? Am I going to need a gear puller?

All you need is some sockets,wrenches and a pry bar. The axle does just pop out

That is what I figured but wanted to make sure before I got in too deep. Thanks!
