  Q: How to remove and install a differential in a Dodge Charger?

  A: Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Drain the lubricant from the differential. Disconnect the driveshaft from the rear differential. Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler. Pry the inner CV joint out to the differential just far enough to release the snap-ring. Note: The drive axes can't be removed from the differential until the differential has been lowered from the vehicle. Support the differential with a floor jack. Remove the mounting fasteners that attach the differential to their cross member. Lower the differential enough to separate the drive axles from the differential. Carefully lower the differential and remove it from under the vehicle. With the differential removed from the vehicle, now would be a good time to check or replace the rubber mounts for the differential mounting brackets and/or the rear cross member. Place the differential on the jack head and position it directly underneath the mounting bracket and cross member. Raise the differential enough to install the drive axles into the differential. Raise the differential into position and install the rear mounting fasteners loosely. Then install the front mounting fastener. Tighten the mounting fasteners to the torque. Install the driveshaft. Fill the differential with the type and amount of lubricant specified. Install the wheels remove the back and lower the vehicle to the ground. Tighten the wheel lug nuts to the torque.
