from memory youll need to change all brake calipers and everything attached to the diff over to new diff as they house the ABS sensors. meaning pulling axles and coverplates i think. been a while since i done that though. have a look, youll see the differences once you start.
just go out make sure your ABS works afterwards. becuase its hard getting rears to lock, ive braked moderately and pulled the hand brake on to test rears.

so it will probably be easier just to change the diff centre from the shit one to the lsd centre??

is this live axle? If so the ABS sensors go in to the axle housing and you cant swap them over to the none ABS diff.
The sensors fit in to the axle housing and the ABS axles have a set of teeth on them for the sensor to read. You will have to swap the center over and put the LSD in to your ABS housing if you still want your ABS to work.

which is alot of pain as you have to set teeth back lash, shim it al up correctly and get correct teeth alignment else youll screw ya new diff in no time.
