I can’t even get a response on Facebook. Everything I search is “thow that 10 bolt in the trash”.

I want to remove my stock LSD out of my 1997 rear end and install a True Track (most likely).

What do you guys think? Should I even attempt it?

If I were doing the job I'd measure the backlash and then aim to duplicate it. Pinion depth won't change so all you have to do is get the diff in the right position.

You might get away with simply swapping the original bearings and shims to the new diff... but you'll have to readjust the shims if it's not spot on. Do you have a decent bearing puller? That's the real issue here. If you don't then you might better take it to a shop.

No I don’t. I don’t have any tools for this job. I’m just sick of paying people to do work....I get over charged and I’m less than impressed with their work. For the amount of labor involved, I could buy all the tools I need.

But then again, I know this is a little different.
