Gday Guys and Gals!
I picked up a second hand rear diff center for my Toyota Landcruiser 80 series with an ARB airlocker installed and decided to make a video on how to remove and replace the rear diff center.
I give you a full step by step run through on how to replace the diff center and all the steps leading up to getting it out, how to clean and prepare the diff and gaskets for the new center and how to reassemble everything in the end.
The standard Limited slip diff would have been good when the vehicle was new but after 380 000km it would have been acting as an open differential, thats the reason replacing it with an airlocking or elocking diff is a great upgrade. The great thing about these select-able lockers is you can lock the diff completely for when your off-road or need more traction and when you want it to act as an open diff you just flick the switch.
I will also be fitting a front ARB airlocker in the near future and will do a video of how to remove the front diff center. So stay tuned!
Thanks for watching, and if you enjoyed or would like to see more videos hit subscribe :D
Let me know in the comments what sort of how to videos you would like to see next as well !
Cheers, Nick!

I've done a few on land rovers , when you pull out that diff it weighs a lot so be ready for it . Great video . Thanks

Hi, how do you go about balancing the drive shaft afterwards? Any marking will be gone as its a total replacement. Thanks

Rear is easy. On FJ80 (e.g. 1994 Land Cruiser), front requires pulling the drums, brakes, etc: the drive shafts consist of two parts, a KNUCKLE, which requires more parts to pull off front knuckle assembly.

Hey Nic great video thanks for sharing. You have inspired me to have a crack at this myself. Do you have a parts/gasket and tool list for this job?

If there's also a factory locker present on the diff, should the process be any different?

@kinuholmqvist7007

Do you need to balance the drive shaft afterwards? And if so how? Thanks

My diff needs to be replaced. FZJ 80 non locked. Can I put diff with locker instead?

Do I have to remove the rear axles all the way out or could I just take them out half way. Reason I ask is because I have limited space on both sides of 80 and it's raining all week so I cant do it outside
