The differential in my 1987 240 Sedan, automatic tranny, 188K miles, ground up yesterday. It will go forward under noise and kept under 30 mph but DON'T let it coast or dare to back up... it will bind and freeze. So I am planning to get the whole axle housing out and put another one in asap. Can anyone tell me if this is major nightmare or just simple unbolting and rebolting. I am particularly wanting to know if the trailing arms have to be removed or one end lowered or something? Can this be done in a day? All advice gratefully accepted and appreciated. No, I wouldn't even THINK about operating on the gearset I want to just yank the whole housing out and be done with it. -Dave in Arizona
