Are these an driveway swap, or do you need to press the old bushings out and new ones in?

 

You will have to press or cut out the old ones, but the these new ones are quite easy to fit in.
I dropped out my diff to do mine which made the job a lot easier.
These make a huge difference. No more axle tramping - the equivalent of anyway.

I wish that I could say the same. Couldn't get the diff. out because I didn't have an impact to loosen the 4 driveshaft nuts. I had the whole rear end apart aside from that! Maybe I should give it a 3rd go? I'd hate to gave up when I was so close to success! I was thinking that I should just drill 4 holes in the trunk above the bracket

 

You don't need an impact to undo the driveshaft bolts, just place a large long screwdriver or piece of steel through the drive shaft knuckle so it won't move while you use a ring spanner to undo the bolts. You might need an extension on the ring spanner to get enough leverage.
To get the diff out you will have to have the back of the car jacked up quite high.
Also you might need two people to balance the diff on a jack when you drop it down onto the ground. Its pretty heavy. You will also have to pull the half shafts out of the diff as well, they are clipped into position, so will need a good pull to get them out of the diff.
Hope this is helpful.

Didn't think of using the knuckle, but I did try a monkey wrench and it was slipping off of the bolts. I did have the CV shafts out already. I might have to give it another go! Thanks!

 

Don't use a monkey wrench, that will just wreck the bolts, use the wright sized ring spanner. You might have to use a Stahlwille ring spanner, as they have very thin sidewalls on the ring.
