it's pretty easy changing diff's I have done it 8 times on mine so far :-)

jack the car up high enough so the diff will fit on top of a jack and can be slide under and jack into position using the jack rather then lifting it.

That the only tip I can think of

You will need a 10mm hex socket and a 12mm hex socket . Preferrably in 1/2 inch drive as the driveshaft bolts can be tight .

10mm for driveshafts , 12mm for diff mount bolts .

Also undo the FILL plug on the new diff before fitting . Alot of people have undone the DRAIN plug to find the FILL plug was stripped and couldnt fill em up ;)

8 times lol! I though I had it bad at 3 times.

the last time I did it (and the last time ever)

Took me 1.5 hours. But thats with some practise of course. First time was about 3 hours.
