Lads before i burst into it i would rather ask what is the best way to remove the rear diff from a TYPE R.
Its about the only thing i have yet to add to my experience, have done gear boxes and engines in and out but never had any reason to take out Rear diff, so whats the best, handiest way to do this experts?
Apart from getting someone to do it

 

I did the rear diff on my bug WRX, was actually quite easy, I'm assuming they are the same.

Raise car, remove diff oil, remembering to undo the top bolt first.

Remove rear drive shafts, and prop, then there were just loads of bolts holding it in place, refit opposite of removal.

Not very technical I know but that's how it was for me.


Good luck.
