A buddy and I swapped his ratio for a 4.88 using the DIY thread and a copy of the factory manual on hand. It took the two of us (paranoid, but mechanically adept engineers) lots of time, shims, tools, checking, re-checking, re-work, pressing things on and off, and patience to get it all done and buttoned up and correct. You can do it, just take your time, measure everything, and have a proper hydraulic press handy! |

There are plenty of instances when I thought, after spending hours on something that I should have gone to a shop to do it. And in the case of the final drive change, i did! I don't think I would have the time, the patience, tools and most likely the knowledge to do it.
A shop would charge between 300-500 AUD to do it properly here. Or you can simply search online and see who is selling one that has already been done. I went crazy with mine (micropolished, Supra bearings, etc.) |

Patience, the right tools and the right manual is what you need. Make sure you get a press and a dial in-lb torque wrench and be ready for your car to be down for a while, unless you pick up a spare carrier to work with.
There's links out there for service manuals as well. |

Possible with patience, the side shims are also not included in any kit I know of. About $8 a piece.
This is the service manual for MK3 Supra, rear diff is the same. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Librar...aspx?S=RA&P=40 If you buy the Ring and Pinion from Weir they have a good install kit. There solid pinion spacer may take a little more time, but it takes the guess work out of crush sleeves.

yeah I called my nearest shop and I'm probably just going to take it to them. I'm a big DIY guy but don't really have some of the tools required. Also i don't want to F it up.
