Default Need someone tO remove my differential

When I get my car returned from Kuhn, I need to have my diff removed from my car to give to puddydad. I need some one to come to my garage to do this. I do not have the tools to remove the diff, such as the appropriate Allen head nor do I have a power drill for it to attach to. What I do have is a floor jack, car stands, money for your help and can supply food and drinks. Help would be greatly appreciated, and my schedule is free for anyone's convenience after Wednesday around 2pm. I would like someone to come to my apartment complex garage because after dealing with they keying and insurance hassle I don't want to leave it anywhere else inoperable.

Tl;Dr Need someone to come to my place to remove my s2000's differential.

What I have in my garage:
Floor Jack
Ratchet set (has all sizes needed except for the allen style bolts that hold diff to driveline)
Jack stands

The Diff should be very easy to remove, as it was recently put on due to switching with another member for his with gears, so there will be no stubborn bolts

I would appreciate anyone's help greatly that can help make this happen. I will also need, when I get my diff back from Puddydaddy to put it back on, but if you can only commit to the removal that's ok too.

I haven't removed a diff but am very skilled with a wrench. I can assist if all else fails.

Here's a DIY. Seems straight forward:

Thanks, I'm probably going to buy a power tool so that it doesn't take too long to get off, but thanks for the links. I'll probably work on taking it off next week, so if your interested, i'll send you a PM.

Glad to help. I can make it a night after work and meet up if you want the help. The only tool I saw on that list that is non-standard is the larger 6mm allen. Not sure if i have one or not. I'll have a look....but i'd guess a socket-style for more leverage would be worth buying.

If neither of you has one, buy a set. You won't regret it. I rarely (unless it's super small) use allen keys any more.

Then you can torque your spark plug cover bolts correctly (sarcasm).
