Straight swap isn't that hard at all, you just need some tools that you may not have, like the chunky 12mm allen key attachment for your socket set. Learning on the fly, a mate and I did one one 3 and a bit hours, that included a few drinks breaks though :-)

Ben do you remember enough to give a bit of a run down? I'm looking at swapping the diff with a stock LSD and housing soon. Any sort of tutorial would be great.

They would be the same if all you're doing is swapping out the entire diff/housing.

10mm Allen Key
12mm Allen Key
2 x 17mm spanners
1 x 19mm socket

Look at it and it will become clear on what to do.
