Doing work on the diff, apart from taking it out of the housing (sledgehammer required) will need a professional workshop.
You need special tools to set up a diff, I´m not saying it cant be done, but by the time you´ve bought all the required tools, which will cost a lot of money, you might just give it to a gearbox/ diff shop.

I was driving around like this for a while, everything was set up to factory specs with my overhauled TRD 2 way / new bearings and solid spacer in it, it was just a worn final drive. I tried to break it but it just whouldn´t. I eventually got so annoyed by the noise that I changed the final drive.

Iirc: new bearings 150GBP, solid spacer 30GBP, used final drive 4,3:1 70GBP and around 200-250 in labour.

If you want to overhaul your LSD while you´re at it, it gets even more expensive.
