One thing to be careful of is not to trap the diff lock electrics wire between the diff and the ally diff mount when retightening the bolts like I did LOL.

I didn't realise I'd bodged it until I the diff lock stopped working on me when the wire severed.

Several things to remember....

1/ You will need to drop the subframe to even get close to loosening the hexbolts that hold the rear diffmount unit.
2/ Pray to God that the subframe bolts DON'T BREAK the welded nuts loose when trying to loosen the subframe up!
3/ That you don't round out the hex nuts that hold the diff mount in place.
Other than that is' pretty easy.

Yep its possible to do on axle stands.
