need help getting diff in. (pic)
we got my diff out and cant get the LSD in. the studs are in the LSD and they seem to be blocking it so it cant get enough clearance to make it into place.

what should i do about this?

looks like you are missing your front diff mount.

It is easier to put the diff in with the mount on the diff and the driver's side of the subframe lowered.

we just lowered the subframe. can i leave the front diff mount attached to the subframe and just attach the diff to it? then just lift the subframe back up?

Its pretty hard to torque all the bolts from the front mount, to the diff if the front mount is still attached to the subframe (as well as a pain in the *** to try and line up 3 small studs through the holes).

where are the bolts that bolt the mount to the subframe? are they the two nuts that face towards the drivers side of the car?

yep, those two, and they are mounted into two slots on the subframe (that you won't be able to see the slots until you take the nuts off)
