may need to unhook the exhaust, but take extreme care if exhaust is rusty, may brake off, esp at the silencer join, or centre boxs. Beware.

It doen't look like the exhuast is fouling anthing the diff is solid I've even tried gently levering it :-/

sorry if this is daft question but...

you have disconnected the rear shocks and the brake flexi hoses?

the whole subframe should now move down as you take the jack down that is supporting the diff.  there's a lot of weight there so no reason for it not to come down

Yup everything else is disconnected

As long as the rear drop links, shocks, flexy brake pipes and ABS wires are un clipped and bolts removed from rear subframe it should drop. You did not jack it up on sub frame did you ? When near side drive shaft hits exhaust then spring will come out.Mine was a bit tight so got misses to push on hub with foot and it came out a doddle.

Success gave the axel a good shake and it parted company with the subframe, springs in, just the shocks to reconnect now but rain stopped play.
