i think you might need a jack to support the diff but its an eay job half hour at most.

Defo best with a jack.
Reverse car up on ramps, take the weight of the diff with the jack, undo two bolts in centre of mount that go into rear of the diff/casing.
Loosen and take out the four bolts holding the support to the chassis x rail bit, reverse to re isntall the new one.

You might also wish to undo the rear anti roll bar if it gets in the way - undo the two bracket bolts and swing it out of the way
