Just make sure you have the proper wrench sizes at the ready, because a socket will not fit in the upper drivetrain area.
I dont remember removing anything.. Just remove one nut at a time, and then moved the bolt enough to where i can wiggle the diff skid into place where the sway bar and the diff skid meet, and use a jack or a buddy to help you hold the diff in place. just loosely connect everything, and i would tighten down from the front of the vehicle (drivetrain) then rearward. If you start tightening down bolts before putting everything together, nothing will fit.
Make sure you torque everything down or you will get squeaking.
good luck man. this is literally back breaking work if you doing this solo because its heavy, and you have no leverage on your back. I'm having nightmares thinking of this lol. Honestly, this is one of those things I would pay a shop to do.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I didn't expect this, so I'm glad I've got a realistic preview. It looks so easy.It will be solo. I was thinking about rigging up some kind of stand with a small bottle jack.
