Help - Rear differential bushing replacement

HELP

Hello fellow G community. New here, had my 13' xS coupe for about 4 months now & loving it. Bought the z1 diff bushings. I have the diff out, changed the oil and the 2 smaller bushings. Im in the process of the larger one in the subframe. Removed the inner bushing using the z1 bushing remover tool. Came out pretty easy. Now I'm on the larger outer housing part trying to remove it with the remover tool using bigger attachment and rod. Has anyone used this tool before? I find myself having to use my legs with all my force on a wrench just to get a quarter turn (didnt want to take off exhaust... bad idea).... also I will attach a picture of the driveshaft... i dented it when the diff came loose and was trying to get it out from underneath the car. Did I F up?!?!

As for removing the last part of the bushing...... you "might" need a Pneumatic Impact Gun.

No clue on the driveshaft question. A photo of the damage with something as a reference for the size (a coin or something) would help us to provide feedback.

you can see the big dent in the driveshaft in the picture I attached. The dent is about the size of an apple

Ok, I see what you're talking about now......

As long as it doesn't interfere with it mating back up, it "shouldn't" be an issue, well.... if it were mine, I'd bolt it up and as long as it went back together without any problem, I wouldn't worry about it.
