    If it's IRS. You only need to change just centre. Unbolt tail shaft. Both axles. And then the four diff mount bolts. And then four bolts on top of diff then your done

    Rear axle needs to come off and it looks like a fair amount of work to replace the diff going by the service manual. Would probably be easier to replace the whole thing. However, others may have better advice.

    Yeh, you should only need to swap the centres.

    It's not too easy though so if your not familiar with them,

    get your local diff shop to fit them up.

    The live axle single spinner in that car is a bw78 with a 3.08 ratio, 28 spline.

    For the price of an lsd centre, you could get a minispool, new bearings and 3.45's.

    mate piece of piss bro take u less then an hour, just buy some axle seals and bearing kits for your axles and do them at the same time, just undo ur wheels, remove your brake caliper and handbrake cables... put ur dick rotor back on reversed with ur wheel nuts on a few turns to allow movement on the studs with the disk..use this as a pull slider to remove the axles... do this 2 both sides, unbolt your diff and remove with a trolley jack and then put your new one in and redo the process, put new bearings and axle seals on the axle shafts
