So when you took out these bolts for the mount plate
(this is the rear diff mount by the wat, it has one
bolt that goes across the back of the car) and got
that off, did you have to take out the entire diff to
replace the bushings?  Does it just drop down and
swing from the front mounts?  DO you have to do
anything with that leaf spring?  I am wondering if
anyone would have a step by step approach.  THe
workshop manual is ok, but sometimes they have you do
things that are not needed, and it takes much longer. 
Can someone help?  Thanks
