Removing differential

I am trying to remove my diff but can't seem to get it out in one piece. It's an LSD on a totalled GX. I was wondering if I can separate the carrier from the diff, or do I have to drop the subframe to do this? Or is it at all possible to take it out in one piece?

you can do it but you have to lower the subframe a little. Hope you have help.

I gave up for the day. It's the last thing on the car that I want to remove before I can call the scrap guys to take it. My parents are naggin me as there is the biggest pool of coolant, oil, fuel, ****, beer, and what not.

drop the whole rear subframe if you have time restrictions. will take no more than 45 minutes with air tools

It's worlds easier if you drop the subframe. It's nearly impossible to get the front bolts off in my experience with the subframe in the way.
