Rear Diff Mount Problem

I just got a new rear diff mount and was hoping to put it on tomorrow so i can go to the rotoryfest on sat ... the problem is I have no idea how to put it on. A friend of mine told me to jake up the rear diff and unbolt the old mount and replace it wit da new one. I don't knw if it was that simply. Anyone have any Idea???

try searching in the 2nd gen threads. I know I found one there. I believe that lowering the subframe will help accessing hard to reach bolts.

ok look

1. Jack the car up
2. Jack stands
3. Tires off
4. Put the jack under the diff to support it
5. Unbolt the 2 nuts that hold the diff on
6. Only unbolt the driver side sub frame nut
7. Release the jack slowly about an inch, it should aether come down with it or stay stuck. hopefully it will kinda stay stick cuz you need to play room
8. Pry the sub frame down, in doing that it should knock loose the diff.. it should come down.
9. With the left side down and the right side up you can now get to the diff mount.
10. I think they are 17mm nutts maybe 18mm ne ways get an extension and take thoes suckers off please NOTE** theres a 2 holed washer that goes 1 way.
11. Take the old one off then put the new one on and reverse the steps.
