As some of you know i`m putting my LSD into the S/C box .as we all know the box needs a bit tickling for the lsd to fit , so set about striping box ( again ) couldn`t get the pinnion nut off , wife & child standing on box still manage to lift them up .
XANTIA method :- start car put to high suspension , but box under car , lower suspension , box now wedged , undo pinnion nut no problem ,
continue gear strip out , die grinder out and a while later LSD fits.

Box full of crap , wife gone to mates house , kids out playing , jet wash shut... uck it,
BATH method , upstairs , cover box in engine cleaner and use the shower to clean box out .... clean bath afterwards no one any the wiser.

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....
