I've brought a new (scond hand) diff off Ebay.
I want to do a straight swap, out with the old and in with the new. I'm doing this cos the VE sedan had a clunk in the back of it since I brought it at auction year or so ago.
I'm 62 years of age with arthritis just as background.
I changed out a complete diff couple years ago on an EL falcon I had and that took me two days but this will be first time I'm going to try n swap out just the diff itself, assuming it can be done that way.
How big a job is it? How long might it take me? I'm a reluctant amature backyard mechanic. I'm doing it myself cos I need to save the 450 - 500$ quoted by two shops in Perth.
More importantly I need to know how to do it.
Would appreciate any link to a guide, tips, description of how etc. Ive looked around the net and this forum trying to find such. I found some good tips from Andrew_Guppz in a post on this forum dated the 19 March 2012. Also found some tips for a VZ on the forum, dunno the difference to a VE and how much difference it makes.
thanks in advance people.
