I read Gus's how to and was wondering if anybody had and tips or tricks to make it easier or quicker?

 

Sell the car as is?

 

Thought about that, but I just did the shock mounts and found bad ball joints. So I working on the rule of thumb that it costs less than a car payment.

Anybody got something a little more helpful?

 

I tried to do the job, and my long skinny fingers couldn't touch the fittings on top of the differential. It's just difficult working on your back.

My Indy mechanic has done a # of Jag fuel pumps, and he's found it easier to drop the differential an inch so he can get to the quick attach fitting. 2.7 hrs @ $50 per hour did it for me. I consider myself fortunate to have got out so cheaply.

 

Where did you get it done, I am in Birmingham?
