Front diff fitting help. was created by Dave91
Hi everyone! I'm going to try and replace my front diff tomorrow and I thought I'd ask on here first if there's anything I should watch out for? I've taken the shafts out before without a problem am I right to assume its a pretty simple job after that? Any advice or tips would be helpful :)

if you got the correct tools such as a 8 mm for hubs and then sir clip pliers and 12 mm for your kin pins etc it would take max of two hours . its a easy job just make sure you drain oil and you have on axle stands better to have them then it drop on you :) . also the diff is not to light so be careful your head is not under it may hurt a bit ha . and use a tub for your buts and bolts and clips don't want grit in them . id clean around your hub seals etc wile i was there to take 10 min a side easy done :)
