It's the same only difference is your axles won't have any roll pins to knock out, they are held in with a spring clip, just give the axle a hard pull and it will pop out of the diff
No oil will come out when you remove the driveshaft from the diff, and with this type of diff with the male axle stubs no oil will come out when you remove the axles ether, the only place it can leak out of is the vent hole on the cover if you turn the diff upside down.
this was really helpful thank you!!
I need to remove and inspect my rear diff this weekend and these instructions are a gold!!
Great vid!! Thank you!!
Respect for the Double wrench technique :thumbup:
Can you replace the rear diff cover without moving the differential
i have the same question
Does this apply to the 95 legacy LSi wagon as well?

Can you remove the diff cover without removing the whole diff.
You might be able to just unbolt the diff but leave the axles and driveshaft connected and lower it down enough to remove the cover.
Do you need to drain the axle fluid first before taking out the driveshaft?

@@ImpreziveGarage thank you and another question what type of fluid do you use if it's an Sti diff cause an Sti is LSD diff right?
@@ImpreziveGarage also if there are two option using Redline 75w140 or 80w140 fluid which is recommended?
