Holy s#@%!!! What an episode that was! Removing the output shafts wasn't so bad, but the 4 19mm bolts holding the diff to the subframe, whoa! Nicely rusted and torqued stiff! I had to put all my weight into undoing those bolts, and I am not a small guy (6,1 205lbs), even then I was still sliding across my driveway!! A job that should have taken me 2hrs max, ended up taking me 4.5! Oh well, atleast the diff was light, after the removal I just threw 'er on my shoulder, put 'er in the shed and called it a day.
Stay tuned for next week's episode when I attempt to disassemble the whole front brake/suspension/steering assemblies!!!
