differential removal

I'm in the process of removing my diff. housing. I can't get the front mounting nuts off. I got the front bottom one, but the rear bottom nut seems impossible to get a wrench around it. Let me get some info on the subject if you have a solution to this problem.

The way that I do is to

1)Unbolt the drivers side strut
2)Remove the bracket that holds the rear subframe in place (1 nut on the bracket, 1 nut holding the bracket to the subframe
3)Remove the 17mm bolt that goes through the rear arm that supports the subframe.

Once these three things are done and the rear end has been undone from the frame of the car.... Take a pry bar and bend the subframe down about 6". This will give you just enough room to get a long extension in and remove the nuts from the rear end mount.
