[QUOTE="351stang, post: 15439814, member: 1355"] Hey guys, I'm in the process of reinstalling my 2004 Cobra Differential after installing the Ford Racing Cover, plus front/rear urethane Differential bushings. I took the car apart about 12 months ago and am just getting it back together due to work/family stuff. Details: [LIST=1] [*]IRS Subframe is in the car. Exhaust, half shafts, front diff cross member, & differential are out. [*]Car is on jackstands. Using floor jack to lift diff. [/LIST] Problem: [LIST=1] [*]The differential gets about 95% up in position to get the rear bolts in and then hits the exhaust hangers. [*]The top bolt hole in the cover is approximately at the bottom bolt hole in the rear differential mount. [*]Made multiple attempts but can't seem to get it into position without killing myself. [*]I'm going up with it relatively level since I'm balancing it on the jack. [/LIST] Questions [LIST=1] [*]Do you have any "pro tips" to get this bastard lined up? [*]Please tell me that I don't have to fish it past the hangers at an exaggerated angle. I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish this solo [/LIST] I'd like to get it in tomorrow or Tuesday, so your quick responses would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
