Default 1800 Rear Axle removal?

Hi
I'm planning a rear suspension rebuild on my 1969 1800S. There is also an oil leak where the prop shaft joins the diff so the seal needs replacing and I'd like to attend to some surface rust and underseal flaking underneath the body and in the wheel arches.
Seems to me the best thing would be to remove the whole axle assembly and work on it in the relative comfort of the garage. Notwithstanding seized suspension bolts etc., is this something that I can expect to do at home without major difficulties? I'd say I fit into the 'competent', but by no means 'expert' bracket.
Thanks
Simon
