You'd find me extremely grateful...
I can't do it this weekend as I won't have parts, half of next weekend is eaten
by travel back from California, with luck the week after next...

I
found it easiest to remove the entire subframe and then disassemble and
reassemble. Its surprisingly easy. Just disconnect driveshaft,
e-brake cables, calipers, etc. Then unbolt and slide out of the way.
Having a tranny jack is very helpful. Curt when are you planning this
job? Perhaps I could swing North for a visit and lend a hand?

124
and 201 are nearly identical but correct differential mounts not an
issue on 201. Spring compressor not really needed on either. The
springs are straight, just use a floor jack. Watch out for broken
springs! Had one on a 201 that spent its life on the KY/IN state
line. It was broken on the bottom coil.

IIRC a 201 doesn't have a differential mount, the diff mounts directly to the
subframe...
Aren't subframe mounts a big job on a 201? I've never done them, they're pretty
easy on a 123...
