Default Removing the diff

Can someone just remind me how to remove my diff without dropping the rear axle?

I need to pop a manual diff back in rather than the auto one but not sure how to remove the diff as when I fitted the current one I had the entire rear axle in my workshop lol

i just unbolted the outer cv joints from the shaft and levered one of them up so i could slide it all across and drop one side down!
i did have a 2 post ramp to do it on though which made life alot easier

So unbolt the drive shafts at the wheel end, then pop them off at the diff end, undo diff mounting bolts and wiggle it all out?

That about right?

There's a big bracket in the way on each arm. You have to be a man and squeeze the shafts in tight to clear it. Or you can be a woofter and remove the bracket, which seems to bolt to the bottom of the shock if i remember correctly.
