Do you even need to drop the diff to remove the cover?

Yes, you do. There is not enough space to get to all the bills that hold the cover in place. Even if you do somehow get the bolts out, you probably went be able to get the oem cover payee out and the new cover back in.

Anyhow, I just finished the install and cleaned up the tools. I will post videoso later hope they came out okay.

LuLZ! Yes! The fawk'n REAR mount stud (38354-0C00A) goes rite N2 the cover Yo!
Like I said in the past, this is totally a RICER mod if u install the finned diff cover w/no LSD upgrade and/or Final Drive Ratio Xchange. Soooo not worth the time/effort! It maaaay-B worth it if u'r installing solid AL diff mounts, but prob not! Its really meant for dudes who have dropt the FD to 4.08/4.36 to keep the gear lube c00ler.
