Default Any vids on replacing front differential bushing?

Is there any videos that illustrates this? Granted I rent the tool to take the bushing out from CS, how long does this take?

That depends on whether or not you rent the tool. With the tool, you're looking at less than a hour. The differential block is the real PITA.

Edit: There are no videos.

Here is one I found with a quick search. It's a Base Model CTS but the bushing is the same.
Replaced mine few months back same as this vid only on install I put the
creative steel bushing in the freezer for a couple days and it went in with
a few light hammer taps. No special tool or heat required.

BTW, The Creative steel diff "block" is a waste of money IMO. Think about it, If you install the creative steel bushing, the diff isn't going to move. That bushing is so solid it cant move.

If you rent the press tool from CS, it comes with laminated, captioned 11x8.5" photographic instructions.
