I've done axles 4 times (not on an Alero though). All 4 times the hardest parts were unstaking the axle nut, and removing the axle from the hub (and installing the new one in the hub). I've used both rebuilt and new replacement axles and will be using new ones only in the future. On the Alero, at least the V6 version it looks easier to do than other cars I have done in that it's not crowded near where the axles go into the transmission.
Also, I replace axles in pairs. They are wearing parts.
