Diff brace thoughts?

I replaced my diff bushings last year with hand tools--no power tools. But I did use the bushing pressing tool from Z1. The whole job took a solid 4-5 hours.

I replaced my diff bushings last year with hand tools--no power tools. But I did use the bushing pressing tool from Z1. The whole job took a solid 4-5 hours. But it just requires a lot of patience as you very, very slowly turn the screw to get the bushing out. Good to have a long breaker bar.
There are some good videos on Youtube. The key is to remove ALL the parts that are in the way, including exhaust (just has to be unhooked at the muffler, and let the whole thing dangle down to the ground), and a few braces.
