Thats impressive stuff.Good photos.It gives a good idea of the work involved.Seems the original diff is flawed by design in more than one way with such large openings.It definately looks like its a tight fit getting it in and out of there.I'm guessing the "inner"shafts were designed for that reason alone - easier access to the diff for dismantling.
Will you need to take particular care when putting it all together again,torquing it all up ?,sealing the housing etc?
