not really a rebuild, but more of a "clean and inspect"
this LSD came from a smashed ITR gearbox, along with all the metal particals and shavings that go along with a expoded bearing...
so the problem was that i could not install it without knowing that it was free from steel shaving contamination... so i removed the ring gear, and managed to separate the two LSD carrier halves to clean it.
i used Kerosene and a paint brush to clean the parts and did it in two stages: 1. bulk/mass clean 2. detailed clean
then i was able to inspect the parts for wear and damage - which there was very little wear and zero damage...
separate the two differential carriers:
see the yucky steel particles
after washing and rinsing with Kerosene
on the assembly bench drying out
