Help me find a good thread for removing the center diff and adding in the locking piece to convert to 2 wheel drive. Thanks.
Look http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=104513 first, a lot of info but it's pretty good.
There's a bit more http://www.subarugears.com/Assembly/Assembly.html in the middle of the thread, or look further on that website for Subaspool or whatever they call it.
If that's not clear or you need more just say.
As info it's really easy to make up the rear cover plate, so don't buy it. Just need some flat stock, a jigsaw and a file to deburr, a drill press and about twenty minutes.
Thanks. I have all the parts, just need instructions for the install.

Page 2 scroll down a couple of posts if i screwed up the link. I just tore mine apart supper easy don't over think it most of the gears just fall out. The nut holding the gears together was definitely a impact gun deal. The big cylindrical piece is the diff it just pulls right out and exposes the nut that Stephen shows in his thread.
If you still have my number give me a call i will talk you through it. if not P me and i will give you my number.

What year is your trans Mark? There is one subtle detail that I want to make sure you don't miss regarding the spacer washers. It's very easy to take the diff out actually and you have access to the tools to get the nut torqued correctly. It needs quite a bit of torque on it. Be careful with it, it's worth $.
I am dealing with this one right now. cut it in wrong location. wondering if it matters?
That link mentioned, http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=220712&st=20, has step-by-step instructions, but once you get it started it’s pretty straightforward. Follow the steps there and dismantle until you see this:
That’s where the sleeve goes and those two gears you can see just outside that big nut on the bottom shaft are the two it will lock. Remove that big nut and BE CAREFUL about order, orientation and placement of the washers etc. Once they’re off the sleeve is placed on, and in this photo you can see it in place and those two gears locked:
See that yellow paint mark? You can use it for orientation and compare both photos to see the differences, the sleeve before and after. Re-install those washers and bearings and torque the shit out of it (I don’t remember the value, look it up, but you’ll be leaning into it). Then put the rear cover on and you’re done. It’s not a very complicated process, and once you start disassembling things it’s pretty easy to see how it works.
Thanks you DB glad I could be of service, or scary someone up and document it for you all.
