differential fitting

[Rossi]

Has anyone got a guide to fitting a 2 way diff into a 1987 ae86??

Yes, download the factory manual from the aeu86 homepage tech section.. it's the most complete guide you'll find (2-way lsd is no different from the stock lsd installation-wise). If you're new to this, then you might be better off getting it installed for you someplace because it's not very easy to get the ring and pinion adjustment right.

I'm guessing it would be easy to do with the axle off the car? I would probably do it when replacing the bushings on my rear links.

Get the axle off the car, buy new wheel bearings and it should be no problem, be sure to buy the right lsd for your driveshafts

I think that it is a little bit more involved then that. Having the axle of the car doesn't help that much, it might even be easier to get the driveshafts off with the axle still on the car..easier to apply power.
Its a job that, to do it well, needs some tools that not everyone has lying around. Screw it up and kiss your R&P goodbye. Take a look in the factory manual, its all in there.

If you happen to find a 2 way LSD already installed into the diff bell with the ring and pinion adjusted and ready to go...then its a straight and easy bolt in affair.
