Differential Cover

Differential Cover
I'm trying to take off the cover to the differential and have no luck because the diff mount is connected to the lid and there is a long bolt that goes from the inside of the car through the mount and I dont know how to take that off to open the lid. My car is a 83 280ZX Turbo with an R200 diff and cv axle shafts. If anyone can help me in the removal of the diff cover process let me know. THANKS.

That single bolt through the rear bushing is not from inside the car. It is hard to break loose but it will unbolt from under the car. You take that off, then you can take off the two bolts holding that bracket to the diff cover.
I never tried to remove the back cover while the diff was still mounted in the car but I suppose it should be possible.

I unbolted everything, but how do you break loose that bolt that goes through the bushing? I can't see how you take it off. Do you turn it? Do you bang it out? I tried everything, but have no results yet.
Well let me tell you my problem..... I was driving when suddenly my car was making a weird noise in the rear, then it it felt like something was banging, then the right rear tire seemed like it was jumping off the ground, like it was wanted to pull just on the right side. I thought it was the axle, but tht is fine. Now I want to check the diff to see if anything is bad inside. Do you guys have any ideas of what might do this?

Well I got to put the axle back on and tire and spun both tires to see if I heard or felt anything. The results... I didnt hear or feel anything bad. Nothing clancked or grinded or anything. Seemed normal to me. I was going to check the bearings but dont know how to get to them. Do I have to remove the axle and take that nut off in the hub? Thanks again.
