S4 TII LSD Differential rebuild

Okay well I can pick up new bearings, discs, and washers and the other stuff to rebuild the diff for about 100 bucks, a friend told me he had his done at a shop for the lack of knowledge, and time, any good links or suggestions for rebuilt differntials

At the end of chapter 9 of the FSM it takes you through putting a LSD together., if that helps any.

I was under the impression that a machine shop would be needed to press the bearings to the ring and pinion gear.

If you mean the bearings onto the LSD, then yes, they are pressed on.

The pinion gear doesn't come off of the input shaft. And the ring gear simple comes on and off with the tap of a ruber malet.

And when I looked at my TII diff out of my car, it didn't look like you would need to remove the bearings on the end to break the diff down. Because there were like 4-6 big philips screws that held it together. Or at least I thought that was what it was.

this is what a friend e-mailed me

"The rear end part to tighten up the LSD will be under $100 but you need to pay
someone to set the gears up. I had Donny do mine since you either need a dummy
pinion ($347) or do a trial and error fitting which you can end up destroying a
$20+ bearing on each test fitting."

www.mazdamotorsports.com, but you need an account with them, if you race in atleast 2 offical racing events in a year, SCCA autocrossing events will suffice

I've gone out and bought the parts from a bunch of other dealers, and I am wondering if anyone can provide the bearing number off the Front and Rear Pinion Bearings for a 86-92 non turbo.

Thanks!
