Default AZ, Vortex spice up the "information gene pool"....some stuff there is useful, some isn't

AW is consistent and mature but AZ and Vortex do have their useful nuggets.

Good to post here, lurk there.

Default almost a 'great' post...but then again its AZ.

some dude confirms this will work, then asks a question:

<i>Quick question on that one-piece I see disassembled: HTF did you get into that thing? My understanding is that you cut a notch in the retaining pins, then just bang the ****e out of it until you pop out the spiral pin that holds it in place? I have not done mine yet (reason I'm still running around with the older diff in my car) as I really haven't researched how to get replacement spiral pins..nevermind getting them back in their place.</i>

and this is the response?

<i>be creative

notching the pins is not how we did it...it was very easy though

pm if youd like </i>

JUST POST THE ****ING INFORMATION AND STOP ACTING LIKE A GIGGLING SCHOOL GIRL.

fvckin az.

Default Yea, it was me that made that post that was trying to get that info out of K0mpresd...

That is the reason I'm running one of the pre-'99 torsens in my 2001. It's easy as pie to get into. There are just 3 bolts that release a "cap" and everything kind of falls apart from there. The '99+ diffs have a one-piece housing and everything is held in by 3 pins that are held in place by an interference fit spiral looking spring.

Default So why can't someone take the time to write this up for the tech section?

Drives me nuts when people post up things like, "oh, it's so easy, you can figure it out"... But then 20 people post up questions, and the OP makes no effort to answer them..
