djratlif Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I have a 1998 parts vehicle and I'm going to remove the front diff for another member here to use. I am wondering if it is easier to drop the diff with the mounting brackets attached, or does it come out by itself leaving the brackets there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Leave them in. You won't be able to remove the diff with the brackets attached...they won't clear the LCAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djratlif Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Perfect, I am not real familiar with the R50 having never owned a roadworthy one. Also, there is no need to fully remove the CV axles right? I unbolted them from the diff already and it looks like they will clear, although the service manual says to remove them completely.

Yep, no need to remove them, just rest them on the LCAs and they'll be out of the way enough. Unbolt them from the brackets, and you can lower it down. There's also a breather tube attached up top to disconnect, and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
