Seals and bearings, as with anything else.
Don't need the crush tube or spacer.

Some bearings may not need replacing after inspection but that is a judgement call on your part.

FSM recommends replacing the collapsable collar.

yeah, it says it MUST be replaced if its removed, basically everything in there should be replaced, including clutch discs if you have a clutch type lsd wich was standard on all s4 t2's i believe.

Your right, it does.
Hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot.
Can't see the need to replace it though....

I have never done one of these and am not entirely sure how it functions. What I do know is that it deforms when torqued down, along the lines of a crush washer, but without the sealing capacity. It is supposedly a one time use item and may not perform it's full function a second time.

Sorry about your foot.

Well it's survived 3+ years and several dozen track events so I'm not to worried.
