LSD fitting

[LGreen]

Hi all, with my escort project shell being worse then i thought, weeks needed welding new panels in and i can only work on it two nights a week, which is being built for some sideways fun. I've gone and bought a LSD for my MK1 RS2000. Its a standard car bar the 15" minilites and engine work and was going to leave it that way but i want some fun this summer looking out of the side window so got the LSD.

I'm perfectly handy with a spanner but have never fitted a LSD before. Any tips and advice/pit falls to avoid. Replacing the bearings in the diff while i am there as its had a fair bit of use. got dif and bearing kit from peter lloyd.Cheers in advance. LG

This was asked not long ago and the general advice was to get it done by a professional. Setting the backlash is difficult.

 

I took the advice and got mine done by a pro.

setting up a diff is a bit of a "dark art" mate get it done by a pro

i did mine okey ,tighten the big round ajusters up just enough to take the backlash out . obvously put 2 new bearings on first mines a quaffe its been fine.
