IF you do end up doing the job yourself you'll require good oil (castrol SAF-XA expensive {$30/litre}) 14mm socket, extension bar, rachet, maybe a slide hammer or your disc flipped around and three wheel nuts to hold it onto axle, 15mm and 17mm spanner, 13mm or 1/2inch spanner, one big lever bar, 16mm or 5/8 inch socket, breaker bar, some rags and oil drain pan. Remember not to mix up the shims that will fall out as the diff centre and crownwheel are pryed out as these items in the wrong position will kill your diff gears and possibly everything else in under 100km.

Castrol SaF-XA Oil recommended for LSD, can be bought in 4 litre containers from Castrol distributors for under $60 if I remember correctly.
It is about $30 if you buy it in 1 litre containers, from retail outlets.
Look up oil distributors in the yellow pages, thats what I did.
