OK so I just recently bought a fcs5 and the differential was out and am installing the new one with much difficulties lining up the studs from the body to the differential ( am thinking the Guy I bought it from may have bent the studs hard to say tho laying on my back). Just needing advice on this thanks.

 

i dont know what an fcs5 is but it's much easier to raise/lower the whole subframe with two jacks.

 

Grab a mate to help you too... Make life much easier!!

 

Yea that's what I'm probably gonna do, was just trying to see if anyone has done it without lowering the whole rear frame.

 

I've done it a couple times without taking off the whole rear subframe... Just lowered it down enough to clear stuff.

 

I've gotten the front on and kept the nutz loose to have play with the rear but I've got an inch I'm off when I raise it(on the rear studs). That's what has me wondering if the Guy I bought it from who took the original off maybe bent em over(he was a tard).....

 

I did it with out lowing the subframe, i just un bolted the verticle subframe link

 

It may be easier to get the rear of the diff on the studs first, and then attach the front mount.

 

yeah i recently did this and it took me, my brother, and a friend to get up, but having two jacks helped a lot to even it up in there!

 

Thanks for the advice I got it on there solo, I just unbolted the vert link and driver side frame nut lowered just enough and blamo! Thanks again peps
