John,
Not good news and I wish you a speedy recovery....I can add to your encounter
by saying that the TR6 diff is also no lightweight....during my chassis phase
of restoration, I was struggling with the last stubborn nut on the 6 diff
when the diff decided to break free and gently roll off of the hydraulic jack
I had under to support it while I was trying to hold onto it to break its
fall to the concrete below. Since I was leaning over it and my back gave me
a gentle warning of overload, I let go in time to avoid injury...it only fell
about 6 inches sideways to the floor....no damage but they are heavy
indeed.....good luck again, John:)
