[QUOTE="Jr. Corvette, post: 127975, member: 1906"] I do. Currently doing it right now. I’m installing a dual mount rear fiberglass spring and powdercoated my rear crossmember. I then pulled the diff and I disassembled it and sending it in for sand blasting and pwder coating then it’s off for a rebuild. If you drop your leaf spring, place a jack under your diff, undo the 2 crossmember bolts, then hit it with PB blaster. I had to use a 4 foot pry bar to pop the crossmember from frame. Then you can lower the diff slightly and reach in and undo the bolts on top of the diff. Once those are out just slide the crossmember out. I prefer this method as dropping the diff with the crossmember attach has a lot of weight and is very wide which increases the chances of you hitting something. From there you can decide what else you want to take off and remove. By rods I’m assuming you mean strut rods. I replaced mine with heavy duty ones with adjustable HEIM joints. Well worth it imo. I’m here if you have any other questions. [/QUOTE]
