I was going to do it but I'm not an advanced tech so I got Andrew (Monkeynuts to do the work). Something like 6 hours with a new diff install and he knows what he's doing.

andrew has a small shop going here in port coquitlam now. If you need his number I can pm it to you.

as far as doing it yourself.... go to gtrpwr.com and upload the GTR FSM. Its in there, all in english. Give you a good idea on whats involved.

What are you doing to your front diff? Improper shim could cause problems or failure to a new diff. That would be bad if you spent $1200 on one and it went boom.

When you remove the stock diff, mark the shims so they can be replaced to their original position. Most of times, you will be OK if you keep the shims in their original location. If your are not sure, please use dye to verify if the teeth get correct contact patch afterward.
