I'm putting in a 3.73 SS manual differential.
I think at this point my only hope will be to unbolt the whole differential again and strap it to my trans jack lower it as much as I can, install the driveshaft, then Jack it back up again and bolt it in.
Another thing I was thinking was maybe if I go ahead and bolt the axle shafts to the differential, it would hold it enough to where I could take the bolts out and let the differential drop down enough (hopefully) while the axle shafts keep the whole diff from falling out.
The problem is I put loctite red (permatex red) on the big bolt that holds the diff, I sure hope I will be able to get it out. The only way I got it out the first time was I put a wrench on it and jacked up with a floor jack on the wrench, I am sure it came very close to rounding off the head on that bolt.
