For various reason ive had the sub frame out 3 times, but man what a pain it is. So Im getting ready to replace gears in my diff and wanted some thoughts on just dropping the rear part down, can the diff be removed easily that way or should I drop the whole sub frame again?
Removing differential without completely removing sub frame yes/no?

You can drop the center section by itself. If you have the original brace that runs under the pinion I think you can pull it without removing that brace. If you've upgraded to the 03/04 brace you'll need to remove it. The tabs on the 03/04 brace take up room to maneuver it.

This might be a good time to replace your knuckle bearings too. At a minimum check the torque on the nuts before you pull the assemblies.
I dropped it today, didnt wanted to deal with removing diff while under the car on jack stands. The car has original 15k miles so Im not concerned with the bearings. Now to Find an expert in my general area to replace diff gears and set up correctly,
