Well,
Everytime I have done that damn diff mount, its been a struggle. The ONE time I decide to just lower the subframe, it was like the easiest thing ever.
But if you want to do it without removing the subframe, just lower the front two "ears" that extend towards the front of the car.
True story:
When I first got into rotaries, I was in the middle of a diff mount change. Coming from classic cars, I never had any experience with subframes, so I jacked the car and put the stands under the rear shock mounts. Once that subframe came loose.. WHOO BOY! What fuN! Car made about a one foot jump FORWARD. What an idiot...
