Jack rear of the car up, undo the driveshafs (T50 hex shaped), easiest way Ive found is to undo the handbrake and take car out of gear spinning the wheels to access all the bolts, but putting handbrake back on if you have no one to hold the wheel in place while undoing them!

Once all 12 (IIRC) driveshaft bolts are undone and they are moved out the way undo the prop shaft in same way to access the 4 bolts (15mm bolts). Then undo the two top 19mm (IIRC) bolts first as these can thread when trying to get the diff back in if not lined up correctly, so take no chances!


Then support diff with a jack and undo the 4 13mm bolts holding the back plate to the chassis and remove the black bump stop thing (Slides into place on the chassis (IIRC). Then undo the centre nut and 2 front boltsand remove the 2 front ones! Then remove the long bolt (Exhaust may get in the way, depending which way the bolt is placed) and the diff should be free unless Ive missed something

It may need a bit of persuassion (Sp??) to remove it and get the rear mount over the rear ARB, but it should lower down

Hope that helps mate... Me bro fooked 24 diffs in a year and we were removing them every week to be rebuilt
