Might as well get rid of that heavy useless part of your car then. Lighter is better right?

20 degrees would feel like spring. It's sad when 10 degrees starts feeling kinda warm. My car is staying warm at highway speed, but I do notice that a 72 degree cabin temp on -2 degree day is not like a 72 degree cabin temp on a 35 degree day. Another thing I noticed is that when the climate control is in auto (AC off), when the temps are below 10 degrees, the defrost comes on. I switched the CC to manual to disengage the defrost and guess what? The windows started fogging. Those fancy pants Nissan engineers, I tell ya.
Hopefully removing the axle, driveshaft, and chassis bolts is easy. My diff and bolts don't have significant rusts and I do have air tools, though I don't know how accessible some of the bolts not will be with an impact gun. The diff isn't near has heavy as I thought. Feels like 55 to 60lbs, maybe.

the diff I have is 81# without fluid. Maybe yours doesn't have the VLSD? haha j/k
When you take off the driveshaft bolts (4) You will need to loosen/remove the bottom 2 and then put it in neutral spin it 1/2 turn and get the other 2. Once you get those 4 off you can freely spin the half shafts and remove those as long as the E-brake isn't on.

No, not R2D2! My name is Nfsp. Pronounced exactly how it's spelled... no vowels. It's not my fault though, when they asked my mother what she wanted to name the baby she sneezed
Then give them to me. I'll trade you my nice light ones (You're all about lightness) Heck, the pass side is manual, it can't weigh anything!

You're thinking about it wrong. Not "Athen" pronounced like the last bit of Jonathon... Athon like "Ay-Thon" Long A + end of marathon
Why do I stir up so much trouble?

Seriously, though, I'll probably get a tranny jack attachment or rent one. I could build something for my floor jack, but I'd rather just do it the right way and not risk it.
