Buy a poly mount. Undo the nut from the bottom and pry the diff to the side and pull the on out on an angle. Drop the new bushing and bolt in from the top and bolt everything back in. There will be 2 bushings total. One on top and one between the frame and the diff tongue. Some have removed the front tongue bolt and loosened the rear one to swing it down but sometimes that can be a little difficult as the tongu can rust to the diff and be a pain to move. If you have to, unbolt the driveshaft and slide it forward into the trans. As you can see there are a couple ways to do it, just figure out which is best for you. I use the 1st method but I also have lifts.
