You have a swing-axle rear, not the IRS, right? What all else have
you removed? The thing is, those studs on the diff don't hold the
diff up. They hold the spring down. The diff is held at the front
by two bolts which go vertically through two ears which have rubber
bushings, and at the rear by a 10" (more or less) long bolt that runs
laterally. If its bushings in the diff mounts have rusted to that
bolt, that bolt can be a royal pain to remove.
