Guy has been the most recent and had to do his a few times as the first replacement was a duff unit. He'll be along to help I'm sure.

Hi Phil and welcome.
Good luck with the Diff

Here's the link to Guy's post, but as the pictures show, the sub has to be dropped.

Ok, thanks for that guys, a start at least.
I notice from the pics in the posted link https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc26...highlight=diff that Guy virtually carried out a rear-end overhaul and obviously the diff was the main feature, so hopefully my actual diff proceedure wont be as comprehensive as Guy's. Look forward to Guy's imput when he arrives on the forum.
Phil.
I replaced the diff without removing subframe.Have to remove dampers etc and a bit of a wiggle but it will come out.bear in mind it weighs nearly 30 kilos
How long did this take you, did you take it on yourself or with assistance?? I am going to have a couple of mechanics on this one, so they can break their backs at my expense. And when you say remove dampers are you refering to the ajoining from & rear support plates to where they are attached to the diff & s/frame. Thanks.
Short yellow dampers on diff assembly and me and my mate done the job within 3 hours.Did have the use of a lift and a gearbox/diff hyd: support in the lifting and lowering.
