I just did this over the weekend, and thought I would add something to make the next person's job easier. Torque settings. 2 Front diff mounts - 76 ft/lbs 1

Torque settings.

2 Front diff mounts - 76 ft/lbs
1 Rear diff mount - 81 ft/lbs
Driveshaft to diff - 51 ft/lbs
Stub axles to diff - 59 ft/lbs

There...I just saved you 30 mins of looking things up ;-)

I used the "bout tight" method, as in "that feels bout tight".

That being said I have now done a few of these and i can get them done on jack stands in under 4 hours. Not bad.

Idk how well that tool will work at poping out that bushing but I had a bottle jack on mine. It did not move until I cut that metal ring in two. I showed in my video of what and how I did it.

it looks like you've got to be very careful not to cut too much to damage the sub frame Thanks for the videos!

Also, since you swapped out the diff cover with nismo, can you still use it to jack up the car? you know with all the fins

You don't have to be too careful. The sub Fram is material is a lot stronger and harder to cut than the metal ring of the OEM bushing. I had cut and pried it up then cut so more as I went.

I still jack the car up from the rear but carefully. I have to use a block of 2x4 by default to squeeze between the two FI exhaust pipes. I place the car on jack stands shortly after I get her high enough. I would not leave the weights of the car on the finned dif.

there is a pack of grease, what are we using it for? the metal part or between bushing and frame or just all over the place?

What grease? ? I didn't have any grease. I just pushed the front ones on, and used the bolt on the diff to pull the back one in.

Is that rust protection on your subframe?

white stuff? or everything else? there is a lot of rust proofing going on everywhere because I did it myself this year LOL... the white stuff is white lithium grease I sprayed to make the bushing go in easier after I froze it for a couple of hours in the freezer. worked great!

the grease is to lube up the large middle bushing before you push it into the subframe.

the back of the grease pack says it should be used for parts that are intended to move after they're installed. You might be right but I put it around the metal pieces.
