you dont need to pop a ball joint to get the diff in or out. After you disconnect/loosen all three shafts you'll need to support the diff and remove the 2 forward brackets and remove the 4 nuts in the rear. At that point move the diff towards the front of the car by a couple of inchs and then to one side of the car. That will give you enough room to disengage one of the ouput shafts from the diff. Remove that shaft then move the diff to the other side to remove the second shaft. The diff will then drop out nice and easy.

You dropped your without popping the ball joints? I was thinking about that but wanted to have the tools in hand so if I needed to i could. Shopping for a tool in the middle of the job is a pain.

Rev, I've been using one of these to pop ball joints (done the rear lowers about 5 billion times now ) instead of the gear puller type deal.
