The semi axles are linked to the speed box, and one comes out for each side, the box is after the clutch, that is to say the clutch is between motor output and box input, when moving the box to release the clutch, Do you think you have so much elasticity in the mechanisms so you don't have to remove both semis? If so, remove the one you think is convenient, but, make sure, it is not something that then everything goes wrong. luck
