Message Don't forget to unhook the ABS sensors, and have a friend help you. It's heavy and you don't want to drop it. There's no need to drop the entire subframe unless you plan on replacing subframe bushings. Remove the exhaust to clear a path for it to drop, unbolt the driveshaft and axle flanges at the diff, disconnect the abs sensors (plug is up top on the subframe), remove the two rear support nuts on the diff, support the diff and remove the crossmember, lower the diff. Installation is the reverse, use the FSM torque specs.

Echo the others, price is too high for just a diff.
