Default Classic Rear Differential

I am going to replace my rear differential and I am wondering how hard it would be to just install it myself I am trying to cut down on costs?

What exactly are you going to be doing? Are you installing a replacement 3rd. member?

So, you have a ho;e in the outer diff housing, was it caused from an impact or diff your diff gernade?
If you have to replace the 3rd. member, that is pretty easy and no speial skills are involved, have you found one yet?

I am not for sure what cause it some shops have told me a rock others have said that the differential gears caused it. I found one on ebay from a range rover dealer. would you have any suggestions on other places to go.

I would stop driving it then before you break an axle also.
What sort of prices have you found for a used 3rd. member?
