i already did a search and i have the diff out of my car and the output shafts removed, how the hell do i remove the ring gear and get the mate shaft out?

Remove the retainer bolts, and pry it out with a large flat head. Then use a 17mm impact gun to remove the ring gear.

I removed my open diff out myself without reading from DF. Get those braces off (the part that holds down the output shafts and shim) with a 17mm socket. Get yourself some kind of prybar and a hammer. Put the prybar at the walls of the inner pinion housing, and whack the end of the bar with the hammer. <b>Whack it fairly hard, then whack it on the other side, the same way.</b>
it should just pop right out. For the 240sx diff, there are 2 shims on the left, and 2 shims on the right. The longer output shaft is on the right, etc etc.

have a good buddy hold the diff down and impactgun that bitch.

what do you plan to do with the diff? Aftermarket or weld?

thanks for the help, i installed the JGY customs LSD, its basically like a phantom grip, but for 200 bucks, it works awesome.

Shoulda gotten it welded, imo. can't beat the price! 40bucks!

yeah i thought about it but i didnt want to be hopping around corners, its my daily driver. This was a really good upgrade for me because im not really advanced when it comes to drifting and dont want to spend 800 on a new LSD. It also helped a lot in the 1/4, went from 13.6 to 13.2, though it probably wasnt all due to the diff.
