People who have replaced axles. Please help!

OK this is for the right Axle.
IM replacing mine tomorrow but raxles.com sent me a complete axle with the bearing and the rod that goes on the tranny.
I know when I did my left axle I had to flush my tranny. So for the right one, do I also have to flush the tranny?
I replaced my left one like 2 months ago so I don't really want to flush it and buy gear oil again. Please let me know

YOu dont have to flush the d*m thing. WHen you pull the left axle oil will come pouring out. pull it out, push the new one in there. What ever amaount of oil was lost replace it with new oil. Simple right? You may lose a bit over 2 qts. also a 12mm open end/close end wrench

OK I needed to flush my tranny any way. But Im doing my right one this time, not the left one. Will the right side also leak gear oil? I just want to be prepared

Can you jack up the right side enough so that it won't leak when you pull it off?
