I should have stated that I let my front diff droop in order to get the pan off. You don’t need to completely remove the diff in order to get enough clearance to get it off like that guy in the video. He probably didn’t try prying down which gets you enough room. And plenty of people say you don’t need to rivet the new gasket into the pan but it’s 2 pop rivets and they’re there for a purpose- to keep the gasket in place while you maneuver the pan. IMO you need to drop the pan in order to do anything. Also don’t forget there’s 2 small areas that need a dab of RTV at the rear of the pan where it meets the rear cover when you put it back on, as well as a tightening sequence between the bolts that hold the rear cover to the pan and the main bolts and the torque is important too. If you don’t follow the instructions you’ll end up with leaks. I highly recommend a subscription to alldatadiy which provides access to the service manual and TSB’s. It’s only about $30 for a year iirc.
