Yep, It will be time for the halfshafts out to get the diff out to work on, take your time to mark things up, I used 1 dot on one side and 2 dots on the other. So to replace in the right order and from the same side;)

Nice thing to have:woohoo:

Just make sure you tell your MOT man before they test the brakes! Or it is goodbye diff :-(

As a specialist brake tester engineer for Gemco, i've witnessed the results of testing brakes with a diff lock engaged on a lorry, not good!
The test procedure is to test each side individually to max force which will blow a diff, then they start both sides to test for imbalance which is ok, except for an LSD which a specialist 4x4 brake tester is required which can reverse 1 roller. These are found mainly in VAG dealerships to test cars such as a 4 motion /quattro VW / Audi ect. Never test the brakes with a diff lock engaged.
Just a little warning guys.

i believe, when these are installed you dont use the thick washers that come in the 1510 kit, but mine was already installed so cant say for sure

Decelerometer it is then!

To be honest I never even thought about brake testing with a lock right fit. I'm glad you mentioned this could have been expensive!!
