Need Urgent Differential Install Help!
So me and Rob&FC tried to remove my differential and we are stumped on one part. The three bolts the mount on the differential, we removed them and how do we remove the differential itself out? what are the necessary steps to remove and put it back on? i need to go to school on monday and the bus doesnt sound that awesome. Any help i would aprreciate thanks

Seriously?
First go get the FSM from fc3s.org or even a hayne's manual.
If you still can't figure it out do a quick search and i'm sure a ton of thread's will apear about how to remove/install the differential.
Here's some quick spoon feeding for you though-
1. Disconnect driveshshaft
2. Unbolt the half shaft's from the differential
3. 2 stud's with nut's on them on the underside of the car hold the top half of the differential into the car
4. Another brace on the front nose of the differential hold's the front which is the differential mount that is commonly talked about
5. Drop the differential with a floor jack
Now I could drop it and install the other one for you for the cost of fuel plus an hourly road service fee of $97 an hour from the time I leave my shop to the time I finish working on your car. Figure about 1.5 hour's to get to you + 1 hour to drop the differential + 2 hour's to re-install your new differential. Could take longer or less time, depend's on what I run into. Total of around $500 or so

no were just stump because do we have to remove the cross brace? because theres no clearance nor can we even pull of the diff down i mean we can but it wont go all the way through the stud. So basically we got all the studs and nuts out but we cant pull out the diff

Are you ******* kidding me!?
