Really, you have to drop the tranny to remove a front diff?

im not sure, but the labor book calls for 7 hours. so thats what im guessing. i dont think you can get the front shaft out without dropping the trans

No need to remove the transmission or transfer case to service the front differential. To access the bushings, the front differential must first be removed. These are the steps:
- Remove the front driveshaft
- Remove both half shafts
- Remove the 4 crossmember nuts and bolts and remove the crossmember
- Support the front axle assembly with a suitable jack
- Remove the axle tube bushing bolt and flagnut
- Remove the axle housing bushing bolt
- Remove the steering shaft to steering gear bolt and disconnect the shaft from the steering gear
- Remove the rear axle housing bushing bolt
- Lower the front axle assembly
- Disconnect the vent hose from the barbed fitting
