I don't think it would matter, but swapping the axle end for end would
be the simplest and cleanest way. It wouldn't get your joints cleaned
and lubed, though. IIRC, the groove machined in the puck goes to the
outside, so any way that ended up correct, you're OK.

I'm not advocating doing this, just commenting on how to do it. To me,
these joints get some of their wear under braking, and some of their
wear under acceleration, so who knows what good swapping them would
do?
