Ok so this is a noob mistake. I removed the subframe without disconnecting diff/axles/driveshaft or 5 lug hubs. I figured it would be easier if the subframe was on the ground. The problem is diff is spinning now since there is no ebrake applied. How can I remove the axles/diff/drive shaft/5 lug hub? Any way to make the diff not spin?

As far as driveshaft and axles flanges to diff, use double wrenches to remove the hardware.

Axle nuts: Impact gun, only way now.

Put two nuts with bolts on the driveshaft flange of the diff and have a buddy hold a pry bar between them to stop spinning while you loosen everything.

Or stick a pry bar in the lug studs so that it pushes against the ground. Use that noggin.
