Good write up, How long did it take you to do everything and have you done it before?
The bearing at the top of this pic above the gears sets into a groove below the bolt we are talking about. I think it is important to the bearing life. I don't remember if it is the left or right gear set that we are talking about but it is one of them.

nice write up, this is some great info!
prolly should mention that unless they have a press they will need to take the diff to a shop, so this wont be a one day deal more than likely...just a thought...
but great writeup!!
my ep is white...

great write up and pics, added to the sticky link thread.
are there any shimming procedures involved?
especially when u do ur lsd?
"You will need to pull the bearing and speedo gear and ring gear off the differential, but you need a press ( i took mine to a local shop it took about 20 minutes to pull the bearing and gear and put on new bearings and the speedo gear) And yes get new bearings, there about 40 bux a piece at napa and they are not sealed as they appear, thats just a dust guard."
"There is a 72mm snap ring that will be visible once the 14mm plug is removed,"
i didnt time it its all very easy as long as you have the tools on hand (which reminded me to put a tools list) and i have never done this before
thanks!!
There can be but i work for a company that does tolerancing for a living so i checked everything at work and my lsd was the same size as the oem diff so with a couple other calculations i was able to see that it didnt need shimmed. some might, you just need to take the hight of the lsd, the bearing seats and all measure it all up and do the same to the lsd and if they dont match up buy the shim that adds the right height
Nice write up Fico! Im skurred to crack open my tranny. This makes it look a lot easier than i was thinking it would be...
i picked the trans up and kind of jumped up to jostle trans, the ring snaped in place. pretty cool.
