Re: Rear end swap experts needed!

Working at a dealer the only work I did on the rear diffs was at Subaru training school in Ontario, California. They have you take apart a lot of stuff at school that you just never do at an actual shop just so you know how everthing works. I have replaced at least 2 rear diffs at the dealer, but it was as a whole unit. Like I said, shade tree mechanics get into a lot more than you see at a dealer most of the time. Dealers usually deal with either cars under warranty or very new cars. Only us shade tree techs rip into 15 to 20 year old cars! Should see me slip a set of headgasket into a single cam (2000+) 2.5! After 100 sets or so I got em down to about 2 hours if my back could hold out! Dual cam was about 4 hours. Ahhhh, the good old days!
