    Removing the front diff

    Does anyone have a good write up on removing the front diff? I have both the Bentley and Haynes manuals, and neither one covers the ix.

    from the ix Registry: I unbolted the guibo on the input shaft and pushed it back as far as I could, tapped off the tie rod ends and ball joints, pulled on the hubs to withdraw the halfshafts, removed the splash shield to gain access and removed the mounting bolts. At this point the beast was loose.
    Be careful not to keep any part of your body under an unsupported chunk of very heavy German steel.

    I realize this may not be that good of a write-up, but it doesn't sound like that bad of a job.
