NJ Front Diff Swap

Hey all,

I'm about to swap my front diff (NJ auto) for a manual diff.

Can anyone tell me what I'll need before I get started.

Never done this before so no idea what I'm in for.

Am I likely to need any bits and pieces or special tools for the job.

I don't want to get half way through the job and find I can't finish because I don't have everything (but I suppose you can never know).

I have to swap over the axles and cv joints from the old diff to the new one.

Any and all advise will be most appreciated.

Thank you.

are you swaping from the 7.25" to 8" diff? if so you will need the front propshaft too. no special tools that i can remember.

Yes, going to the 8" and I have the drive shaft.

Thanks Sam.
