[QUOTE=freq,Jan 4 2007, 09:54 PM] Having recently dropped my diff., I'd say three hours one way for me. Not a single stripped allen head bolt and yes Skip the Ball Joint Seperator is PRICELESS.

my two mechanics pulled out the catback, diff and axles in a matter of about 15 minutes this week, took about 2 hours to put it all back because we ran into some problems and had to change a differential mount. not a very big job at all if you have the right tools and experience, but i can see how it can take alot longer

Having a lift helps BUNCHES. Doing it on your garage floor with jackstands is a little but different.

the diff and exhaust have come out of the car recently so there wasn't a whole lot of struggle with any of the bolts, but i have no reason to bullshit, it took 15 minutes to get it all out.
