Title: Anybody remove the diff from a Q45??
Post by: ALV on December 15, 2013, 02:45:47 PM
So I have a donor infinity Q45. Anybody have experience getting the diff out for the Goodparts mod? I have it up on jack stands and have put the proverbial liquid wrench on the flange bolts but man they are on tight. Takes a 14 mm socket but there is no clearence to attach the air ratchet or breaker bar. Any tips? May need to break out the MAF gas I guess. Thought I would ask here before I join yet another forum.
Cheers

Well some guys are older and wiser than me. An old mechanic from down the street was watching me suffer and took pity on me. Showed me how to use 2 wrenches one providing leverage to trun the other in the limited space I had. Bruised a knuckle but got it out without to much fuss. Glad that is over.
