Bushing replacement in the rear end

Dropped the rear end to replace the bushings for the subframe, trailing arms and diff mount. What is not visible are the internals to the original subframe bushings that are still stuck on the body mount studs.

Separated the diff from the subframe to make it a little more managable to move around a clean up. Probably scraped off 2 pounds worth of dirt and other crap that was stuck to the outside.

Disassembled the rest of the rear suspension so that pieces can be brought into the basement to be worked on where the temperature is above freezing.
Everything ready to be worked on in the comfort of the basement. Poly bushings just waiting to be pressed in.
Original differential mount came out fairly easily, not sure the subframe bushings will be quite as nice.
