Notthing special, first did the 4 bolds to chassis, then the 2 that are connected to the diff. The arb should not give much trouble to work around.

Succes

As said quite easy, just make sure to support car(chassis) on axle stands, AND support the diff weight,with jack/wood or it will jump down.
Plenty of coppaslip on the bolts when putting together.

If you have defo taken out the TWO bolts that go through the mount to the diff rear casing, then it is just a bit of differential(metal) corrosion holding it.
You need an IRISH SCREWDRIVER, and whack it not too hard though.
