If you're talking about the "vacuum shift actuator" on the front axle, you don't have to do anything special for it (except a new gasket, if the foot is leaking where it meets the axle.)
If that's not it, then I'd need to know more about what you're trying to do...
I'm replacing front axle u-joints and haynes and/or chilton stated having to remove cover. I know it's not needed but I also wanted to check fluid quality since I've never checked it before. Hopefully the gasket maker holds as well as it has on my valve cover, front, and rear diff.

You've got the side jacked up already - just make sure the end of the axle tube is a bit higher than the fill plug in the cover, and then run the shaft in and out carefully so you don't prang the seal.
The axle actuator section communicates with the differential case (in a fluid sense,) so it's the same stuff. When you change your axle, you've changed that fluid as well.
