One snap ring

The differential is torn down and drained. Pulling the side yokes is a seemingly easy task, but there's very little space inside the limited-slip unit so removing the snap rings that hold them in was difficult.

After and hour or so of struggle, both yokes are out.

They have been media blasted and painted flat iron to mimic the 'natural' finish they had but keep them from rusting.

New dust rings will be pressed into place on these and new oil seals will be driven into the differential housing to seal them up.

After that, these can be installed into the differential, the cover can be installed onto the housing and the unit can be refilled with gear oil.

The look of the oil suggests this is the original oil and given how much work it is to change it - removing the rear suspension and the differential from the car - I can understand why.

The front sway bar brackets were refinished this weekend as well, so they were installed along with new bushings and the restored sway bar.
