No.. D-30 shafts jsut slide in and out... just be careful when putting the shaft through the axle seal as not to damage it. Also make sure the shaft is clean to keep any crap out of your diff.

yea make sure you use a 13mill 12 point socket for your wheel bearing bolts.. if you don't use 12 point you will F*** the heads of the bolts up.. oh yea and spray everything around it with some PB blast after the rotor is off
