Default Need help with differential mounts!!

As everybody knows, the diff. is held in place with two front bushings and two rear bushings that actually go through the sub-frame. I recently blew the passenger rear bushing out so I have been driving around with the front two and the driver rear holding in the differential. I recently purchased the replacement bushing and the allen-head bolt that holds it in and took it to my local mechanic. He removed the exhaust and even dropped down the swaybar but could not get the bushing pressed into the subframe. Has anybody had this problem? How do you get the bushings into the subframe? Any DIY guides would be very helpful. Thanks!

Have you checked the appropriate section of the TSRM? I'm not sure if it covers rear diff/subframe bushings, but I'd say that's the most likely place you'll find that information. I'd suggest starting in the section that describes removal & reinstallation of the differential.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
