My hands hurt, cuts all over. My hips are really bruised on both sides from laying on concrete. My neck hurts from holding up my head while on my back for 4 hours. And all the muscles in my upper body that I didn't know I had ache.



I was trying to swap out my differential for an LSD. The old one came out with the assistance of a hammer, flat pry bar, and a steel rod that was once used to hold up the 20-year-old ceiling fan that used to be in the living room. The "new" one turned out to be heavier the the old, which made things more difficult. After wrangling this thing for awhile, I started to try a different approach. Attach the front diff mount to the subframe first, then try to get the LSD in. I was in the process of doing this when the screams of mercy from all muscles got too loud to bear.



So before I try to finish this tonight, what's the best way to get the diff in? I removed all the bolts on my subframe except the ones that hold in the rear alignment adjuster thingy. I have the rear mounting bolts on the diff in already, and the diff mount bolted to the subframe. This is where I stand. Am I on the right track?
