It costs so much to get an LSD fitted in an axle because it's such a specialist job requiring specialist tooling and years of experience. All the forums told me not to attempt it.
So I gave it a go - seriously, how hard can it be?!? By the way, telling me I can't or shouldn't attempt something is like calling Marty McFly a chicken...
You'll see a few products and tools I use for the job in the video - links to the products will appear below soon, all available from my Amazon Storefront. A small percentage of any purchases will go to making the channel bigger and better.
Thanks to Mk1Keiran and RacingDiffs Online for a couple of the clips used in my video.
Tools you'll need to fit your own LSD:
Socket set
Torque wrench
Dial gauge
Hydraulic press
Bench vice
Bearing puller
Rags
Engineers' blue
Micrometer
A lot of patience

Coming soon - I take the turbo Capri down to Best of British show at Santa Pod and see if I can beat my previous best PB of 13.9 on the strip. Will the diff hold out?! Will I beat my PB? Tune in to find out!
Spoiler alert - whilst it's certainly possible, it takes a lot of patience and requires precise measurements and settings. Make sure you familiarise yourself with the process before tackling it. Feel free to screenshot the specification pages and diagrams from my video to help you along. Be prepared to repeat the process MULTIPLE times before you're successful!
Disclaimer - I am not liable for any damage or harm that is caused as a result of attempting to fit your own LSD. It is a very involved process and you attempt it at your own risk!
