Early and late Differentials

I have got a replacement 3.63 diff for VGK. This one looks like an early type with spacers. Is it a straight swap in an axle that had the later collapsible spacer diff type?

Totallly fine...
You can do it 2 ways. Either pull the halfshafts out and take the diff out of the axle case or swap the whole axle.
Method 1 is probably my preferred option if the brake pipes come undone at the wheel cyliders ok.
Not a lot in it....

Thanks Jon totally agree that whipping the half shafts out is the best way quite straight forward most difficult bit was getting the split pins out the handbrake cable ends!
Its all stripped should be able to fit the diff next week. Local guy is putting new bearings and spacer in my old diff apparently he does a lot of landrover ones so now its a case of which to refit. The good used one from Wins or my repaired one.
