Rear Differential Bushings install Subaru WRX/STi

5.)

Rear Diff Bushing: Slowly slid the plate out of the way of the rear diff, now comes the hard part, getting the bushings out. what i did, was clamp it to a table and then use the pry bars and put them in the little indents of the bushings, and push down, once you see it for yourself you’ll know what to do, or at least figure it out.
These are what the bushings look like compared to stock.

 

6.)
Re-install the same way you took out. It will take a little wiggling to get the bar back in place considering the bushings are a little bit bigger, but what i did that helped was spray them with white lithium grease and it helped a little bit. make sure you use the transmission jack to align the bar with the rear diff, and remember if it doesn’t fit do not force it. The rear diff is aluminum and it is was very easy though just hold the stud up there and fiddle with the jack a little bit to align it and it will work. Then, just tighten them both up then take off the outside nuts and put them back on the outside bolts and tighten them down to spec. Remember plug in the rear diff sensor and ground.
