Installing AWR diff mount in 2020+ Ford Explorer

This video was a long time coming. Thank you to AWR for providing such a cool product. In this video, I go over installing one of the coolest mounts on the market for the 2020 and up Ford Explorer. I had some struggles, however that was strictly from my end, not the product. What I learned, make sure you have everything you need to complete the task.
Super excited for this video. I'm happy to work closely with awesome companies creating products for our vehicles like this one.
If you would like the product in this video and you would like to help us check out the link to our website bellow and purchase your very own mount.

easier to just install the diff plate first, then the cross member bracket, took a while to get the 3 oclock bolt lined up but it will go in without dropping the diff or drlling anything, I used a standard e18 wrench but did order the gearwrench after because it was bloody miserable working around the Borla exhaust and only getting 1/20th of a turn on the bolt with the standard e18 wrench. those rear diff bolfs are stretch bolts as well, replace them if you are backing them out to drop the diff.

Thank you for all that info, I'll talk to Ford about ordering those bolts to replace them, always helpful to see other view points...I'll definitely order that tool next time, taking the diff out was miserable.

Will this fit the 2.3 explorers?

[@SouthdownGarage]

What year is your 2.3 explorer? I'll check with Ford on Monday.

@@Thisiscrazy2023 I spoke with Ali from AWR and she said that others have installed this on their XLT and Limited Explorers. If you would like to be 100% sure, contact and send a picture to [e-mail] let her know Kurt sent you.

Mine only has 1 bolt. Bad move from ford

[@SouthdownGarage]

So your diff has only one mounting bolt?

[@Thisiscrazy2023]

@@SouthdownGarage yes

[@SouthdownGarage]

@@Thisiscrazy2023 pm me pictures from your diff, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to install this on yours. The one bolt thing is why they are breaking from what I understand. That's why AWR made this. I'll also message them and ask.
