Axle Length?

Anybody know how long the driver's side axle of the 8" rear in my '66 is? I need to take apart the rear to fix the leaking seals I have and am concerned that I may not have enough room to the garage wall along side the car to pull the axle out of the housing. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Before tearing apart, measure from center of axle housing to hub to get the general idea.

That's what I did and it's awful close. That's why I'm looking for an exact measurement.
 
Put a wheeled floor jack directly under the center section and you'll be able to slide the rear of the car from side to side.
