Rear differential removal and installation

Hello All,

My rear differential will arrive in 2 weeks...all the way from Germany.

How do I remove and install the differential? I more or less know this: the axles must be unbolted and supported, the driveshaft too, remove the rear anti roll bar and remove the three diff bolts n lower to ground.

do i have to mark the positions of anything? do I have to align the new diff back into the spot the old one was?

Oh- and i will be changing the three differential support bushings/mounts while I'm under there....i figure some odd sizes of pipe and plumbing fittings should allow me to press them out/in on the car. Any thoughts on this? or should i invest in a ball joint press tool with adapters?

thanks..
