sharp1989 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 if it was the diff it would have been easy as to change. may have destroyed the spider gears in mine doing a wee skid or a massive one but thats not the point haha. took me like 20 mins to drop the old one and put my new 1 in.hardest part was tryna hold it in place and bolt it up at the same time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
