Cusco Differential Install in Subaru R160 Rear End

[@stantischendorf2439]

I like your use of the old bearing race to start the new one safely!👍

[@erikvanvechten1289]

Good video, cheap little HF hydraulic press will do wonders and you can service your pinion bearings with it too. I do the same thing with wheel bearings using the old races to drive new bearings home.

I saw another guy just take out 1 bolt and it slid right in.Then put the last bolt in through the side. What IDK is whether or not my VB rear diff can be replaced with an older R160 with the OEM LSD in it. The old STI R160 4.11 LSD diff. just swap them out.

@RobHTech that's an awesome way to do it if that clears the lug!

STI = has R180 = WRX has R160 = i just swapped my 1 wheel for a LSD R160 suretrack . THE STI wont fit WRX will fit !

Thanks for the video…
What’s the torque in ft/lbs for the side covers?

[@DylanGondyke]

@@luisking4812 hi! 8lb-ft for the side covers. These are very easy to snap. Cleaning the threads while everything's apart helps

[@luisking4812]

Awesome!
Thanks so much!

For install Bearing race never use hammer possible damage.

[@DylanGondyke]

Contact when driving the bearing on is only made on the race, not the cage, and it is done with a sacrificial old bearing race in between. There's nothing wrong with doing it this way and you will not damage the bearing.
