Wat ever u can see is connected to the diff. Undo. Put a jack under the middle so it doesn't fall on u

to save having to disconenct brake lines, undo the backing plates on the drums and slide the axles out and unclip the solid brake line that run along the diff housing and pull the rest of the diff out, leaving the brake assembly behind

None, get a t-series. Lots of choices for ratios and lsds.

Hand break cables from it will not work tho. Im having this issue with mine, I'm gunna fix it the same way as pen15 did, with a hydro handbrake.

Just get the tail shaft to and everything will bolt in, assuming you bought a t series from a sprinter.
