Hardest bit was trying to lift the new centre up and in, while laying on your side underneath.

Thanks mate, I might look doing this once mine is out of warranty - fitting these voids the warranty and I don't want to do that just in case!

Dock, I didn't, got slugged an extra $365 worth of duty and other associated fee's. What can you do !

Sandgroper, yeah warranty is voided but only on the bit you have replaced & nothing Ashcroft is going to break so who cares !

After 30,000k's the Ashcroft CV's and 1/2 shafts look like new. No burr's inside the CV's & not a twist or blemish to be seen on the 1/2 shafts.

That's great to know, considering you give your svx a good working over.

Air locker, heavy duty gears, pegged, diff casting and fully set up.
$2400 to the door..
Compared to the cost of an ARB locker - then setting it up, the price is very good. Plus I got HD gears and pegging as a bonus

All finished, all 4 wheels back on the ground.

Just quick test drive today and as you would expect from Ashcroft's smooth, silent, engages and disengages without issue.

:D
