Remember to clean out the bottom the of the diff casing, as that is where all the swarf collects, dirty job, but somebody has got to do it :lol:

job done!

Only had a couple of issues today, one of the half shafts was seized in, i bent a crowbar getting it loose but it was fine once out. And lastly that drain plug, i ended up getting my small 1/2 inch extension and found a top bloke at checkpoint tyres who let me use his bench grinder for free and i took a mm or so off each side then it fit!. Once id done that it was an hour to get the old diff out, clean the casing, new diff in, all together and done up, thing drives very nicely now.

Once again guys thankyou for your help
