Hi Guys,
I have finally got around to replacing the rear diff and haldex on the car, it broke last year and I have only just got around to attempting to replace it. I got a spare haldex/rear diff off ebay last year, lets hope its works.
Now I have put the rear of the car on axle stands and removed
Is there any need to replace the diff mount bushes - they look ok - albeit 15 years old? I see powerflex do replacements, will it be easy enough to remove the old bushes and insert the new poly ones?
I hope this one makes sense: Is it best to undo the two bolts that mount the diff-subframe to the main-subframe? or can I just un do the four bolts that mount the diff to the diff subframe?
Are the bolts on the tie bars stretch bolts? i.e. should I buy new ones or can I just clean them up and apply thread lock?
Thanks, Liam

- the wheels
- undone the tie bars (The OE tie bar inner bushes look completed shagged so I've ordered new power flex poly bushes.)
- removed the exhasut
- taken off the heat shield
- undone the inner drive shaft bolts
