I did the diff carrier today...and took all the pics...will do a full step by step and get the mods to do a sticky...it was pretty easy..only one real thing you need to look for.

The bare carrier...to get the crown wheel off remember it has left hand bolts...big L on them.
Posted Image

There are 3 pins holding the 2 halves together...punch them out being aware that there are only 3 holes that go all the way through on the bottom half but there are 4 holes on the top half so mark the halves so it goes back together the same way.
Posted Image

Prise the 2 halves apart.
Posted Image

This is what you see..
Posted Image

Lift out the top spider gears...making sure you also get the thrust washers from inside...these are vital and must go back in with the Lokka.

Posted Image

Next..knock out the long centre pin right through from one side...same with the half pins...knock one through to the other then out that side.
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image

This is what comes out...there are flat thin washers that stick to the inside of the carrier at the ends of the spider gears..makes sure you have the 4 out. Clean the inside of the carrier with a clean cloth.
Posted Image

Clean, gease and replace thrust washers in carrier.
Posted Image

Get new centre pin and old half pins ready.
Posted Image

Install bottom half of Lokka as per instructions...fit centre pin and line up for the joiner pins to go through the end hole.
Posted Image

Fit rest of Lokka as per instructions and 2 short pins also lining them up for pins..
Posted Image

Fit thrust washer to other half...tap together..all the time lining up pin holes to hold 3 centre pins in place..Tap home pins..Bingo!..Finished! Fit crown wheel..remembering the bolts are left hand thread. The measured gap between the 2 Lokka halves should be 4mm...but it is a bitch to measure.

You will need these punches.

When re installing into the diff is it recommended to have the crown and pinion re lapped?

ALX..I leave that to the diff guys..Its all about crush on the bearing at the front of the pinion to get the backlash right..too bloody technical for me!

Maybe the Mods can make a sticky of it.?

All the installation instructions I have read state that the crown and pinion do not require re lapping as the bearings have not been disturbed. In theory it should bolt back into the exact same position as before.

i have run a lokka in a 4wd for over 5 years now, they are extremely hard to break if setup correct. the only weak point is the interlock pins shear when abused. For this to occur i was jumping the 4wd in comps. I do find they clunk at slow speed mainly parking situations. When the tyre prssures are slightly different ie 1-2psi the vehicle wanders on the freeway and can push the car under hard acceleration to one side. sharp cornering will spin the inside wheel as this is the one driving in a corner, but it will automatically lock the outer straight back in
enjoy it is exciting to drive!

How about someone turn it into a Tech Article?
Put it in there and make any extra comments as needed.

What sizes are those punches?

and if you previously had a mini spool installed you wont have thrust washers.
i just rang up the shop that put the spool in and they gave me some for free.
Very happy with the LOKKA and didnt realise how much a spool makes your car handle like poo.

I notice this set up is for 4WD's, can someone explain the benefits of installing them into the diffs of regular cars and what differences in driving to expect?

Most Group C cars run a Locker, turn in way better than a spool. If your keen on one for a 10 bolt try Harrops
