Wow! 25kg!! I'm stronger than I thought
I know when I installed my diff I had to install it by lying underneath my car on my back in the fetal position, resting the diff on my knees and
shins whilst bolting it in place (someone had the engine crane).....
The lactic acid built up pretty quickly!!!

You think a Sierra diff is heavy - try a 1975 Jag XJ6 one

Oh the laughs at A&E if that had gone wrong, especially when they found your profession

Undo bolts and run
Seriously, I've just been out to the garage for your benefit and weighed the bits I have:
Diff 47kgs
Pair W/bones 17kgs
Pair D/shafts 30kgs
Pair Discs 10kgs
---------
104kgs
PLUS calipers, cage, nuts and bolts etc could be another 30+kgs - so BE CAREFUL.
You're looking at the best part of 300lbs, more if wheels are still on!
