Removal/Installation Process:
1. Raise the car up onto jack stands. Remove the rear wheels.
2. Remove the exhaust from the catalytic converter back. Remove the rear suspension stiffener.
3. Remove the differential side of the prop shaft, marking all the joints disconnected.
4. Pull the prop shaft slightly back, and allow it to rest on the shaft protector.
5. Disconnect the lower control arm by removing the lower ball joint.
6. Remove the ABS sensor harness by removing two bolts from the upper arm. Repeat these steps to remove the ball joint and ABS sensor for both sides of the vehicle.
7. Remove the differential joints for each side. There are six mounting bolts and nuts to remove, and then you can remove the joint from the differential. This requires pulling the half shaft away from the differential to clear the internal rod.
8. Remove the EVAP canister cover by removing the single bolt holding it in place.
9. Place a floor jack underneath the differential. A transmission jack is ideal, especially if you’re doing this by yourself, as you want to have a large platform to hold the differential.
11. Starting from the rear of the differential, remove each of the four mounting nuts from the mounting bracket. Then remove the four bolts holding the front mounts in place.
12. Hang the Evap canister out of the way of the differential. There’s a single bolt hold it on, and then a bracket to slip it off and allow it to hang freely.
13. Pull the differential towards the front of the car, which will clear the rear mounting bolts from the mounting bracket. Then lower the differential to the ground using a jack.
14. At this point, I replaced the differential mounts at this point.
15. Fill the differential with the recommended oil.
16. Put the studs into the differential. Mount the front differential bracket onto the new differential. There are four bolts used, each torqued to 47 lb-ft.
17. Using a floor jack, lift the differential back up into the vehicle, and slide it into the rear differential mount. Then install the front mounts; torque to spec.
18. With the front mounting bracket on, there are two nuts and washers that need to be installed and torqued to 47 lb-ft.
19. Replace the EVAP canister, and the single bolt holding it in. Then reinstall the canister cover, tightening the single screw to 7.2 lb-ft.
20. Install the axle half shafts to the differential. Using new hardware, install the twelve nuts and bolts to each side of the differential.
21. For each rear suspension, reinstall the ball joints by torquing the castle nut down to 51 to 58 lb-ft. Slip the cotter pin through the ball joint bolt, and then bend the cotter pin to prevent it from falling out.
22. Reinstall the ABS sensor harness by torquing the two screws to 7.2 lb-ft.
23. Install the prop shaft back to the differential. There are three spacers to be used. The six bolts needs to be torqued to 24 lb-ft.
24. Remount the exhaust, making sure all five hangers are used, and tighten the nuts to the catalytic converter to 25 lb-ft.
25. Finally, install the rear suspension stiffener.
26. Put the wheels back on and lower the car.
