Installing lsd, what else do i need?

[axemurderer101]

so i got my lsd in the post today so i will be putting it in this weekend, just need to know what things i will need when installing it. The things i know i need are new oil for lsd, diff cover gasket, grease for axles and maybe new bearings for the axles while they are out. Just need to know if i have missed anything

Cheers

You've pretty well covered most things to expect. Do a close inspection of your axle bearings and diff centre carrier bearings while they're out look for any pitting or any spots that have worn through the case hardening. Far better to relace them now if needed as they are only like $20 each.

yeah the lsd has new bearings and everything so just gotta check everything else, do the bearings on the lsd need to be greased or is the oil in the diff enough to keep it lubed lol

a limslip additive is must for lsd, pair of new bearing for lsd carrier and make sure check the backlash between pinion gear and crown 1st before you take out the old carrier so u have the idea on the clearance when u put ur new lsd carrier. and careful not to mix the carrier spacer...

No you dont need to grease them. Just give them a good coating of oil when you in stall them and once they're installed they run in an oil bath for lubrication.
