    subframe lowering to access differential bushings

    M-5 2000
    Son and I have the differential ready to come out to replace the differential bushings this morning.
    Need to get about 1-inch of clearance to replace the passenger rear differential bushings by dropping the subframe just a little.
    Wondering how far the subframe can be lowered before you have to start disconnecting things? If this is possible what needs to be removed to make this happen. On my 99 wagon I remember doing this vaguely when I did the subframe bushings.
    This is not about removing the subframe just lowing it enough to access the and replace differential bushings.
    Thanks in advance.

    Car is gong back together I am a little unclear of the torque values.

    Drive shaft to differential?
    Differential to subframe?
    1/2 Shafts?
    Subframe bolts?
