Interesting thought. I may know just the shop to do it. Thanks.

The more I think about it the more stuff I'm willing to take off. I may even remove the exhaust. Just seems to be a big pain in the arsch to try and prep/finish while it's on. It's being replaced anyway. I suppose I can have it towed when ready. I've never even removed a cover from a differential. Just watched a video, looks pedestrian. Now if I could just remember, limited slip or not.
