Weight of rear diff

YzGyz

I use my floor jack. to take the Differential off and put it back on. When removing it, I removed the bolts 1/2 way then placed the jack under her. Jacked the diff up a little and twisted the rest of the bolt out by hand. All that was left is to gently pry the rear out and she is free. I think I used a strap on her to keep her secured to the jack too.

When I put here back up, I had a 2nd hand instead of strapping her down to keep the differential steady as I slid the rear in and put te 2 front bolts in.

Yeah it's heavy but not impossible. I made a youtube video on how to remove the old junk and install some Whiteline Poly bushings in a while back.

Here is the first video. There are 9 in total. It really was not that bad of a job. It's just a little messy and took like 4 hours or so. I had to stop and record a few times. Then watch the vid to see if it was any good and record again or proceed. I had another video recorded but never uploaded it. It showed where I used a paddle bit to drill the rear bushing multiple times all the way way round. I had used a spiral type and it caught and then snapped in half on the first attempt. I then proceeded to the a 8 ton bottle jack. The jack was wedged between the bushing and the main frame.Wood was used to get the jack piston to touch the rear diff bushing where I then used it to force the middle rubber part out giving me plenty of space to fit a saw blade to cut the metal ring.
