Default stripping down cossie rear diffs.

Ive just recently aquired scorpio rear arms and drive shafts to widen the track of my puma.

It was easy enough to strip the stub shafts out the diff as it was an open diff so easy access to the clips.

But how do you do it on a cossie LSD?? is there access to get a punch in to hammer the circlips off??

Or does it need some other technique or tools??

It looks the same in side as the lsd bit is on one side so removing the clips is the same

ahh cool!

Are there any seals to replace or is it just an interference fit that stops the oil coming out where the stub shafts go in??
