Brandon (farphle) is headed over to my place so we can replace his diff yet again. ;) This time should be the last time, since we're sticking a Torsen in it. If you're interested in lending a hand, let me know. I think he's going to show up here around 9AM. PM me for the address.
I'm sure there will be beer and food for those involved... ::Banana::
What rear end is he taking out?
If he has a Viscus Diff then he will need different half-shafts. All others should fit just fine.
Yep, VLSD to Torsen (I think). I believe he's got all the proper parts to do the swap. Maybe he'll chime in and confirm...
I want to do a Torsen swap :( I'll be autoxing that day though.
really you would only need one half-shaft. The passenger side is Ok; but the drivers side is different.
I have the diff, half-shafts and drive shaft. I have to replace the half shafts due to the Torsen using one piece units while my little VLSD uses two piece. Should be a good time!
Anyone want to buy a complete 1.6 VLSD swap?
How much?
poo on you for doing it on a saturday.
if this takes till sunday I'll come by, lol
You wanna put it in your car and see how quickly we can grenade it?Quote:

Yeah, remember that took longer than swapping the diff? The half-shafts had liberal amounts of anti-seize applied when I swapped hubs/spindles 2 months ago, so those should separate easily also.Quote:

I shouldn't need a press. The hubs/spindles were replaced 2 months ago and I used a LOT of anti-seize on the splines of the half-shafts. I should be able to reverse the axle nut and whack it with a mallet or hammer and pop the half-shaft out of the hub.
Torsen swap complete!
Mike, if y'all are interested in the old LSD for the Lemons car, work out a deal with Brandon then come by my house and pick it up - I'm 5 minutes away from TDR...
So glad that's the last time I have to do that! Thanks for the help Rick and Andrew! Next up... ES bushing install! WooHoo!
Me too... me too..... lol
Kinda sad I missed out on diff swap #3, farphle. I'll be sure to think up some creative swear words for the bushings change. ;)
Better double up on those swear words... I'm planning to order bushings this week... ;)
