your only needing the center not the ring gear and pinon, you have to pull the pig apart on both the donor LSD and your trucks diff
rear quarters are evil and must be punished with rocks

Na I dont wanna get the LSD in, I wanna go the R200 because they are stronger and there is a diff lock available.

yes they are cut the other way around so the pinion drives on the right side of the teeth you would have to fit the diff upside down

fitting the diff upside down will make the front wheels rotate opposite to the rears

yes i realize that but what im saying is helicol cut gears are designed to run load one way which is why they break easier in reverse
