Diff brace is in. Thanks again to Russ for the modification of the brace to allow easy fitment!

This is a simple job, one of the few that has actually been much less difficult than anticipated.

It is not necessary to remove your exhaust. This can be done with everything in place.
1) 2x 14mm bolts are removed from the diff cover. This should be very apparent.
2) Insert bushing into subframe. I believe this is 19mm or the equivalent. Russ shows this in his thread as well. I used the same technique - put it in the closed end of a wrench and used that to align it.
3) Align brace. Get a couple threads going on the top bolt, using fingers to tighten just a bit.
4) Align middle bolt. This can't be installed if the top bolt is not loose, because of the angle. You'll see what I mean.
5) Bottom bolt goes next.

Tighten everything up, remove car from jack stands or other contrivance used to lift car, test drive it.

Enjoy the huge difference this makes in loss of slop in your drivetrain. This is much more substantial and apparent than poly diff bushings or trans mount. No more clunky rear end.
