Nice video and thanks for posting it. I see at time 0:45 the differential is coming out with the cross member attached Im thinking how that was done with the exhaust pipes in the way not to mention all the other stuff in the way. That is way I like videos complete I do understand they can be longer but some parts need to be shown . Thanks, I grateful anyways.
Ringo Gingo The crossmember can be removed ahead of time to avoid that. Simply take off your leaf spring, and undo the 2 cross member bolts. Then pry the crossmember so that it pops out of the socket. With a jack underneath lower the differential so that you can reach the 4 bolts on top of the diff. Once those are out the cross member will slide out. Makes removing the diff much easier and less prone to hitting a part of your car like at 0:45.
Thank you so much sir. A shop wanted to charge me $900 just to r and r the rear-end. I am a do it your self guy. Thank you you made it super easy.
