THe FSM just says "remove output shafts" WTF?!? how do they come out? Do I beat them out with a BFH, or is there a circlip holding them in?

I'm trying to get the diff apart but it doesn't want to let go of course.

 

nevermind. they tap out.

 

Yeah its tricky but a nice whack with a hamma gets them.

 

it was kind of fun actually.

I'm working on my turbo'd miata. I've done a clutch already sat/sun, today/tomorrow I'm swapping in a clutch pack LSD from an 87 RX7 I bought at the u-pull-it yard for 40 bucks.
I'm so sick of working on this thing I just don't know what to do lol.

 

haha, hang in there. A DIY mechanic is always rewarded by the satisfaction of a job completed on his own!

 

I HAVE to do them at the same time, with sticky tires and a grabby clutch the stock viscous LSD will go bye bye in a matter of days with the HP I'm running :o

It'll be nice when it's done, I hear those clutch type LSD's can handle 350+ HP all day long without a single complaint, so we'll see. It's the last mechanical upgrade to do to the car besides turn the boost up and tune out the emanage as high as I can go

The LSD sure looks to be in good shape and the fluid was new, so here's to hoping!
