Hey guys got my airlocker and cromoly axles yesterday (well actualy half of the cromolys  )
just wondering how hard it is to fit the locker, I am very mechanical minded And can do it if I put my mind to it. I guess it will be easy to follow the instructions. Or should I leave it up to the pro's I don't really like the idea paying a mechanic to do some thing I might be able to do Cheers |

i think its just a case of warranty, if you fit it, and something goes wrong, there's no warranty involved. 99% sure this is the case |

i personally would get them to do it, knowing i could probably fit it myself, but i'd be kicking myself if something went wrong with it and had to fix it myself. how much do they want to fit it? |

If you buy a diff rebuild kit from lowrange offroad I can rebuild your diff and install the air locker to your centre for $300 You R&R the diff centre and fit the compressor and air line I've worked as a Suzuki mechanic, arb and as a heavy vehicle mechanic with 10yrs exp I've done diffs for plenty of Auszookers members and never had any complaints and I've been recommended by other members. I rebuilt the rear air locker in team tough turtle that entered in tuff truck this year without failure. Pm me if your interested |

Not sure how much havnt ask yet But it's arb we are talking about This is why I got my locker from the states not here in aus Not even sure if they will fit it since I didn't buy it of them but they should I might just get them to fit it Does any one know how much it cost before I ring them It's a couple hundred dollars if they had to pull the shafts nd center out of the diff them selfs I'm guessing But I'll just take the center into arb |

And usually 9 times out of 10 the old carrier bearings can get damaged when pulled off the old carrier, that's why I say at a minimum to do the carrier bearings. |

Your best to get that in one go from lowrange as it will be heaps cheaper from them than any one else. |
