Next, remove the four nuts from the stub axles and the axle shafts drop away.When removing the mounts it is a wise idea to unbolt the mustache bar from the diff. Remove the four bolts attaching the mustache bar to the diff, then loosen the bolts holding the mustache bar to the rear subframe. It is also a good idea to drop the rear swaybar for just a bit more working room, especially if you’re working on the ground and/or working on your own.Finally, remove the rear mounting bolt.

I’m a scrawny nerd who doesn’t work out and I was able to remove these parts without the help of a jack.The front mounts are in poor shape and after 30 years the rubber is split and torn. This is a common problem on Cappuccinos and can cause clunks under acceleration, gear noise, and driveline binding.The rear mount on the differential itself is in even worse shape. The center sleeve has torn out and can be removed by hand. This amount of damage was surprising as we weren’t having any telltale signs of blown out differential bushings.
