Easy? I have an e30 lsd, while using my ti halfshafts and flanges. Getting the old diff out was a pain in the @$$ because those freaking top bolts are hard to access and were covered in 10 years of dirt. Also, make sure you have that torx socket!!! Sure you can use a hex socket, but you'll probably end up rounding off some of the bolts like I did. Also, since the diff is bigger, I had to pound in some of the metal so it would sit flush.
