I would use a brass drift to knock out the axles from the hub, less chance to ding anything up.

the hub to axle bolt is 13mm

Diff mount is 13mm 4 bolts

Diff mount to Diff 22mm 2 bolts

Diff to sub frame 19mm 4 nuts, use a deep socket and a long pry bar to loosen
nuts. once loose I used a short 3/8" ratchet.

Flex disc, 15mm & 17mm open box, a gear wrench will speed things up once loose. some have a hex bolt. think it is a 8mm?

the gasser w126 use a larger flex disc than the W126 300SD. will have to change it.

In the JY usually they don`t allow a jack. when I have loosened the 4 19mm nuts, sometimes the Diff will hang up and not just drop down. I use an old tire and maybe a pile of old carpets under it. use a long prybar and wiggle it loose, then when it drops down it lands on the carpet instead of the dirt and rocks.

Have fun

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
