Good luck with the install and keep us posted on progress mate.

Funny Southern 4x4 is closing down (30th Aug) and I was owed $50 so grabed a few things including a mint diff centre for $50 so I can do this mod on the bench.
I am leaking from one hub(slowly) so wanted to do it all at the same time so will be very interested in your post........

I went on a trip on the weekend with a bunch of guys down to Yalwal near Nowra NSW, and one of the guys had his little suzuki sierra there, which had spartan lockers.
It made this really loud Bang every time they locked up, dunno what it was, but he said its a common problem with the spartan loclers and just needed to be welded in some spot??
feel free to blast me if im wrong, but i would like to hear of anyone elses experiences with them as they seem to be pretty good value for a locker!!

one of the guys I know has one and he has had no problems at all so far, i believe a couple of the guys have them and for the money are great value.

Well it is halfway in i did use the torque wrench when i did mine refer to the manual for the torque specs .
It is a straight forward job quite simple and easy to do nothing i found frustrating the pin locking setup on the spartan was real easy.
The only thing was removing the locking pin on the cross shaft the one in my chisel set wasn't long enough so i found an old allen key and cut the head off it and used it to drive the pin out.
I re used the original pin as well.
