Doing Front Diff Mount, specific question-

Im doing the front diff mount right now on my 88 TII. I've already searched, so i knew what i was in for.
I've got the whole exhuast off, and i've unbolted the outside mounts on the subframe, but it won't swing down.

What else needs to be unbolted from the subframe to get it to swing down so i can get to the mount?

Do i need to unbolt suspension bits, or is there some trick to get the frame off the little mounts on the outside-

you need to unbold the camber link. driver side of the diff. there is a bar hanging down with one bolt. undo that. keep a jack under the diff. it'll drop!

doesn't matter... they are attached. diff is in the middle.. easier. just stick it under the diff. you might have to jack it up a bit to get the bolt out of the camber rod. as there will lots of force on it.
