So I am installing a 98+ ITR LSD in a S4C, 00' B16A2 tranny.

The ITR LSD bearings spin freely but make a minor scraping noise. Should they be replaced?

My stock differential bearings spin freely and make NO scraping noise. Could I use these if the ITR LSD bearings need to be replaced?

 

Add a little MTF to the bearing and recheck. A dry bearing will chafe some when you spin them.

Thanks, I'll try that. You are likely right b/c the ITR parts have been sitting for a while. I moment of relief b/c the bearings are $50 a pop to replace.

 

NEW Question:
I put the ITR LSD into the S4C tranny case, but I can't seem to take it back out. Is there a special trick or method? The helms doesn't even specify how to remove the stock one. My friend waled on the middle bar in the stock one with a screwdriver and it pulled right out.
