Diff Bushings
Hello All!
Good news, thanks to some forum members, I was able to remove the diff. and carrier form my car.
The next question is :
How do i remove the bushings from the carrier so i can replace them with some polly ones?
Cheers

Drill the rubber out and then use a hacksaw blade to cut the inner sleave. Both are a pain but since you have the carrier out of the car be careful not to cut the carrier itself with that hacksaw blade.

I have a small 20 ton hydraulic press.

A hydraulic press is the way to go. I didn't remove mine from the car so it was a real pain to get the carrier busings out. If the carrier is already out it shouldn't be very hard to find somebody to help you press out the bushings.
