Picture #11
Remove the bolts holding the rear differential cover to the bushing as shown. (22MM socket).
Picture #12
To get to the upper bolt, push the sway bar up and out of the way of the socket. The sway bar is flexible and will move easily.
Picture #13
Using an extension remove the bushing to floor bolts and remove the bushing. (13 MM socket )
Picture #14
Remove the differential rear cover bolts. (15MM socket)except the one next to the breather tube it was 17MM. You may have to lower the differential to get to the top bolts.
Picture #15
To break the seal on the differential rear cover caused by the RTV sealant, I used a punch as shown in the hole provided near the drain hole. A few taps with a hammer will break the seal and the cover can be pealed off the differential.
