Easiest way to remove a differential
Is it possible to remove the differential without dropping the rear subframe? If so, what is the procedure?

I am sure that I removed the differential with axles attached in the W123.
Remove end nuts holding on axles. Remove rear flex plate on driveshaft. Removed two 19mm fasteners at top of differential. Couple more fasteners and dropped right out. Left subframe alone.

That is how I have done mine. It was really easy. Just leave the axles attached. You still have to move the subframe up and down to get the axles in. But it is really easy if the car is already supported properly. Also, in addition to the above you will need to loosen the center carrier bearing mount so you can slide the drive shaft forward enough to pull it off the diff.
It still took me half a day. But, that was because I was doing a ton of other stuff back there. The diff. was not that hard. The toughest part was accessing those nuts on top of the diff. If the car is a "scrapper" you can cut a hole in the floor to make it easier to remove the nuts on top of the diff.

my time to chime in
Okay --- first things first; while I really like the gentleman from California (see post above); however, I learned the chain is wrapped around the front support bar of the driver's seat for easy removal! See pics in the link below.
And the same post, definitely illustrates the easiest way to remove a differential. Give you a hint --- a forklift helps! http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showpost.php?p=2463551&postcount=74 Enjoy!!

My question applies to a diff in a junkyard car.
