how to change rear diff
I tried searching under 'c-5 rear diff' . I found the post where Patches changed the rear by pulling the trans with the diff attached.Can i leave the transmission in and unbolt the diff, then slide it off the trans axle?
Thanks

Removing it as one piece (trans and diff) seems easier. I have done it a couple times. You will have to support the Engine so the angle doesn't become too great. Do a google search. I got a lot of info from Cajun Dude and others. It's time intensive, but not hard.

Then drop the trans/diff to the approx height to pull just the diff out. put j/stand under trans again and remove the diff by itself. You don't need a stand under the motor. If you need more info, pm me. I did a diff change out on my Z this last spring, by myself.

You havn't stated what you are wanting to do/change? If you need to just pull the rear. I think it's best to just support the trans/diff w/a j/stand under the trans. Drop the cradle and slide it out of the way.
