I am so glad I've got a BA wagon. No mucking about with cradles, blades and tail shaft centre bearings. Good old leaf springs and a full length tail shaft.. Amazing dexterity as always Scott. Great idea with the sicaflex. Love the paint job. Looks awesome.
Hey Scotty, before you undo the diff cradle, place your jack under the cradle, with 4 bits of 4 x 2 timber for extra height, jack it as high as your jack will go and set it up on your axle stands with a bit of timber under each axle stand if your lucky enough to get it that high. This leaves heaps of room for manouvering the cradle in and out.
Awesome as always, I swapped out AU XR8 whole diff cradle, shocks etc from open wheel to LSD with no hoist single handed (just with my left) few years back but hell yeah should have sickaflexed up the bushes, nice work Scott, your a great inspiration for me and shows what we can do if we keen enough... respect
Even though this videos 2 years old l still respect the knowledge behind this all Scott, lm about to do the Sikaflex method on my FG, hope to see more content in 2023 brother
Good one Scott, those cradles aren't that bad a job on the shed floor once you have a good plan, and mine was a similar plan, but we'll done mate, she looks good 👍
Hey am I'm not saying this to be a smart ass but for your safety also the care of your car. the spot you put the chassis stands was dangerous man they go on the chassis rails not on the side of the car body that spot is only for a car jack changing a flat tyre just letting you know so nobody gets hurt in the future or your car gets damaged
Mate full respect to you and the way you work on your cars man but I think a good name for your RUclips channel should be the 1 arm bandit vehicle mods
Best solution is buy new nolathane bushes and you don't have to think for another 150000km.Two trail arm bushes is very impotant for quality of ride.I have done this job and I worked three days to finish that job,but i replaced diff,because i have had lost prelod and clunck was present.I have made simular troley for cradle,but i put my stand on last hole hight and rear bumper doesn't have to be removed.It is big job and all new bushes is best option for this job.Cradle has two holes for adjusment, but whell aligments very important to do after this job.Cradle bolts should be lock 125Nm by spec.Front bushes should be press 5 to 7mm more in to prevent diff arm from touching cradle and preventing constant clunck,because shape of nolathane bushes is different than original ford.Front two bushes should be lock 140Nm,but back rear one 200Nm with red thredlock.You are lacky you got different driveshrasft ,beause they are differnt for sedan and turbo.
Haha sika trick I've heard stories but never seen it done. I'm half way through doing the exact same thing on my fg swapping an lsd cradle in. I was silly enough to buy the 5sp xr6 so I've had an engineering mob modify my diff yoke on the lsd to accept the na 5sp shaft until I decide what to do with the gearbox when it inevitably fails
@@Versatiled bought mine with a new box in it so the cars done 120 the box has 22th on it. Plenty of guys in the us run the 5r55 with some decent numbers just by upgrading the solenoids. Gonna try that road first as the kits are relatively cheap and install is in car.
Thx for this video because i one day want lsd on my ba and also another tip ba and bf diff hats a different if im wrong please correct me its what i was told when i been looking around at xr8 and xr6 turbo lsd
Hey scott, im fitting a LSD to BF barra and has a ZF 6 auto, what tailshaft will fit, the lsd has a longer flange on it, and im not sure about the driveshafts🙄
Hey scott love your work mate . You pump me up to do things quicker on my car . Wanted to ask I git a fg g6eturbo and got a lsd from a bf/fg 2.73 ratio . Are my axles and tailshaft the same . Both diff in car and out of car are m86 . Also are you doin a video that will show us how to change the seals on the diff?
Hey Scott, just wondering why are you swapping the diff, what benefits are there with the diff your sticking in? Like the finished look very clean mate.
Wow great job. I have to replace Diff bushes on my territory soon and I’m interested to know just how high the back end needs to go so the subframe can be rolled out from under. And also interested to know how you got it that high. I’m toying with idea of a hi lift off-road Jack maybe mounted under towbar tongue or one on each side near jacking points. Any thoughts?
If you need to put your car over the pit's once a year it wouldn't be advised to put sikaflex on your bushes as they will think your trying to hide defects.
Hi mate I'm from nz and finding it hard to find a diff for my 2010 ford fg g6et.. I know it has a non lsd. Number on diff is 16pa my question is will a xr6 09 lsd diff fit? Numbers on there are 16ra
To do all of this mainly by yourself and with one arm is amazing, good work brother, keep it up, love the paint too 😍

Love the paint job. Looks awesome.
The wagon can only dream of performing like IRS, the IRS can only dream of costing the same amount as a solid diff.

Haha I knew I wasnt the only one out there doing stuff like this. Great vids bro, can't wait to see what it makes on the dyno👍
Looks mint and a Na turbo build ! This will be a common thing I believe that will happen in the not too distant future!
Can’t wait for the dyno !!
Mate , I have been thinking of doing something like this ,thanks for leading the way ,sika is great stuff.
Love all your videos mate great information and detail keep up the good work. Cheers
Good job mate. Love the paint colour 👍🏻
Legend, going to do my rose joints soon on my BA so pretty glad this got uploaded to understand a bit more about the IRS cradles in the Falcons
legend mate keep it up watching from Melbourne

Get some extensions for your rattle gun. You can reach the 6 main bolts with a rattle gun(well I can) instead if using the ring spanner

Just had a 5spd fail on some family, she lasted 180thou and was bought brand new.

@@terrydrew7002 That'll be awesome!
😂 paint the brakes.. doesn't mean paint the rotors too 🤦🏻♀️
Pads will take off whatever needs to be taken off. She'll be right 😂
Hey Scott any reason you used an FG Turbo tail shaft over a BF Turbo tail shaft? or are they the same thing?
Thx for this video because i one day want lsd on my ba and also another tip ba and bf diff hats a different if im wrong please correct me its what i was told when i been looking around at xr8 and xr6 turbo lsd
Try doing with a trolly jack and a boar wide and long enuff to balance under diff awesome vid
Awsome job mate top effort
You legend thanks brother I'm doing mine just like yours 👊👊

The smaller M78 n/a was a welded locker lol so put a turbo M86 rear end in

yeah a high lift 4wd jack will do the trick
A couple of years after Scott, has the Sicaflex lasted the test of time?
Are Territory m78 or m86? I have a rwd ts and I'm about to service it and change to 4.11 ratio if possible
Yer i think ill be doing the same good stuff man
How come you put zip ties around exhaust hanger rubbers?
Stops them from falling apart
What are ya jack stands rated? Gonna get me a pair
Pretty sure they are 2T
Hi Scott, how long did this take you to do please mate?
2 days letting the sikaflex dry over night
Do you reckon you can do the bushes in place?
If you need to put your car over the pit's once a year it wouldn't be advised to put sikaflex on your bushes as they will think your trying to hide defects.
Can you put the sikaflex in the bushes with everything in the car still?
Can't access them properly
Looks like mine with the lux wheels
Did you paint it ? Looks good ! Nitro blue !
Can’t wait for the dyno !!
A good mate has a business Paintwerx they did the panel and paint work. It's bionic blue 👍
Hey where did you get the pump for filling the diff?
Autobarn
Hi mate I'm from nz and finding it hard to find a diff for my 2010 ford fg g6et.. I know it has a non lsd. Number on diff is 16pa my question is will a xr6 09 lsd diff fit? Numbers on there are 16ra
