How much for that diff? Cash in hand. lol

[Chabs]

they're pretty heavy for what they are... i swapped mine with a buddy this weekend and just had the car up on jacks (i'm 18 and live with my mom and was in the garage) so it wasn't on anything fancy. it took us 3 hours to get in, and was to heavy to hold up while we bolted it, so we had to use the jack to hold it up haha

How heavy are these things btw?

about 70-80 lbs.

medium case open diff weighs 75lbs
small case open weighs 65lbs

Wow... I should do a DIY. However, it wouldn't include "Step 15: Run away as the differential drops from a height of 2 meters, permanently damaging it."

those things are heavy. Had to carry one across pick-n-pull (BMW always setup on the other side of the lot). Needless to say, I pay the $1 for a wheel barrow any time I go.

thats one way to do it.

at the yard around here the wheel barrow usage is free.
