Well I finally got the parts in I needed to fix it Tuesday. I spent the better part of Tuesday dropping my diffrential out before I went to work. Wednesday I had to get the broken bolt out of the diffrential, note drilling a grade 10.9 bolt is hard. Anyways I eventually I drilled a hole deep enough to hammer an easy out in. I applied a little pressure and the bolt was still in tight, so not wanting to take any chances I went and got the torch tanks. I heated the outside to a cherry red, and applied pressure the the bolt again, it came right out. Then in the next hour and a half I put the diffrential back up in and bolted the axles back up and put my sway bar back in place. I added a Active Autowerke Diffrential Stabalizer Brace to help ensure that I don't break anymore bolts.
Also in the time my car has been down I have added many upgrades:
UUC Evo3 shorty
UUC Race tranny mounts
UUC Tranny mount enforcers
UUC Clutch arm bushings
AA DSB
Motorsport X-brace
My car has a diffrent feel now, it feels a lot tighter and more stable. The shifter is a bit notchy but I figure I will get used to it.
