Re: pulling my rear diff cover??
I hope you kept your receipt. The rear cover mounting studs go thru the rear suspension sub-frame. To get to the bolts to separate the cover from the rest of the diff you would have to move the diff forward so the studs will clear the sub-frame. Of course keeping you from doing that is the driveshaft, the rear exhaust system and heat sheilds. The diff weighs about 40-50 pounds, not counting the weight of the axles unless you are going to separate them also.
I would go get some gasket solvent and a sharp knife and trim and clean the current gasket making it all pretty. If it is leaking that might be a different story, but the leak would have to be greater that the pain of gasket replacement.
Maybe someone has an easier fix. I just did a 4.44 transmission/rear diff swap and these seem to be the issues.
Good luck, Keith
