A good tip when removing and refitting diffs is as follows.
If you have a garage jack that has a big cup on top like most do, you can drill 2 holes that match up with the two holes on the bottom of the diff nose.
Then get the correct bolts to screw into the diff to hold the steering arm guard and damper weight or just use the ones which are already in the diff.
On most garage jacks you can remove the cup from the top of the arm.
So attach the cup to the diff by placing the bolts through the cup and then into the bottom of the diff.
Lift the diff onto the jack by dropping the cup into position.
You can then trundle the diff under the car and onto the bolts.
I can tell you it is much easier than trying to lift it.
The reverse also applies . Just undo all the nuts and pull the jack backwards.
