1- Savington makes a good point. If possible, swap the axles with the hubs still attached. No need to take the control arms however- in fact I think it's slightly easier to leave them hanging on the car and separate the hubs from them, than to try leaving them attached to the hubs and remove the whole assembly.
2- It is very difficult to detach the PPF from the diff while it's in the car. However it is very easy to do on the ground when you can attack it from above. I chose to remove the diff and PPF as a single unit. Just detach the ground wire and unclip the wiring harness that runs alongside the PPF, and remove the speedo cable. Then you can easily unbolt the PPF from the transmission. When you unbolt the diff, just lower the whole assembly to the ground and bring it out as a unit. Remove the long bolts that hold the PPF to the diff while it's still in the car- easier to get leverage this way.
