I need to replace my diff center chunk and have looked at the factory service manual, the new diff and under the car. It looks like the only thing holding it is the diff mount and the four bolts on top of diff through subframe.

Can I unattach the drive shaft and axles and drop diff, then put in new diff and re attach axles without detaching axles from wheel flanges??

I figure this would save time, but can it be done and has anyone done it?
