Obviously tape off the area and cover anything you don't want sparks to hit. Have a plan for fire. I have a bucket of water and wet rags, water sprayer, and fire extinguisher.

The outside panel is glued to the inside panel. And remember... but you can't put it back.

There is a support in there which somewhat limits how much you can do.

Harbor Freight stuff. I had to use 1/2" all thread, drill out the holes to fit. The hardware that came with the kit was too short. This bearing wasn't too bad to remove.

Harmonic balancer bolt socket and impact. Thankfully the bolts were centered in the holes and the threads didn't get damaged during removal.

Clearance was a problem here. I'm guessing there is a special two jaw puller that would have been better on these bearings.

Looks like it's a 1.5 way setup. I don't know what springs are installed. I didn't want to dig that deep.

1/2" all thread. The washer on the bearing I cut out of plate steel to take the force of the press.

What I should have done before I took apart the diff. This is my factory LSD which has the same back lash feel as what I put together so I think I'm good. This is .014" at the point and angle in the picture. It's just the free movement distance before it turns the ring gear.
