According to your profile you have almost 3000 posts and you are asking a question that is something i would expect from someone that drives a Honda civic? How is that? Typically when i look at questions posted by others, or even responses, I weight the responses by number of posts, kinda like a review to understand if this person is the one i should trust or not. Again not calling you out, just curious. Maybe your number of posts has been hacked by the Russians.

Well, I've never torn down a Chevy before. Or a Honda, for that matter. Honestly, until this project I hadn't even replaced brakes. Wasn't raised around this stuff, but I like it.
It's important to me to pull things in the right order, without screwing something up. Pulling the shaft before the axles seems to make sense, but I can see how it probably doesn't matter. That said, I'm not 100% sold on pulling the axles. The entire driveshaft is another story, because I'm pulling the rear leaf springs, engine & trans.

If you can do a ground up restoration you should be able to remove those axles without any hastle.

Gave that a shot, noted by this thread.

Have to say you lost me on drive shaft yoke & really, the carrier. It's my understanding the carrier, or carrier bearing is another term for center support bearing. Sounds like you and others are referring to the "pumpkin" as the carrier, so yeah, a little confusing.
I tend to make mountains of molehills until once done, and then I realize how easy it really is. Good to know the axles are easy.
