Thread: D2 Rear Diff repair - Locker install

I can't remember where i heard it but i know someone was saying that a 24 spline d1 diff is virtually the same as a d2 diff, but don't know for sure......

The question has been asked before,answer was no.
See if the more tech savy D2 owners can tell you why.
Where are you Slunnie.

OK suspected not but wanted to find out before I start to repair or replace the rear diff

If your D1 is 24 spline RD 128, Yes it bolts in. If it's a 10 spline you're outa luck.

Thanks Waxenwane
As far as I know (will go and look in garage after this) it is a 24 spline

Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on diff centre removal and ARB locker install?

Or does anyone know anyone on the Gold Coast/Bris who would show us how to do this - for a fee is fine.

I would like to learn how to strip and repair the diff anyway as we are getting into comp work (in another set up) and no doubt will need to do repairs in the future - hence this repair a good place to learn.

Thanks all for input

Below is a pic of the hole in the diff – a gash above and below the filler plus the filler hole enlarged – no filler plug left

Also 2 pics of the locker I had from a D1 thinking of putting in

Nasty looking diff explosion

By the looks your d1 locker is already setup with the airline fitting drilled and tapped in the housing, so if a d1 diff is a strate swap into a d2 housing and the axles etc match up you should beable to take the old diff out and put the new in without having to set anything up.....

Here is the airlocker service and parts manual...
