swapping front diff housings, any tips?

Post by CRUSHU »

I have just finished swapping the rear diff housing tonight, and will swap the front diff housing tommorrow. is it much the same as the rear? jack up body and support it, jack up diff, undo brakelines, steering, tail shaft, shocks, sway bars and control arms? all pretty straight forward?

I also have to swap the front brakes and hubs over, also fairly easy?

My patrol is a 92 with the big front brakes, auto hubs, standard front diff, and factory locker rear.

the new diffs are out of a early model, with the small brakes, manual hubs, and airlockers front and rear.

thanks
