My flex disk is in great shape, so there is no need for me to replace it now, so I don't want to remove it and the drive shaft, since I'll have to get another flex disk with new bolts.

I think my plan will be to unbolt the three mounts, then lower the differential, pay close attention that I am not stressing the cv joint boots, then replace the mounts.

Does this sound reasonable, or am I just inviting a disaster to happen??
I think you have a good plan except for reusing the flex disk. If it has cracks I'd replace it. That takes care of reusing the bolts which is forbidden by the FSM and many of the senior members here on this forum. I strongly recommend you heed that advise and consider replacing the other disk in the near future.

If anyone sources replacement bolts for reusing good flex disk please let us know.
