Mate, the lokka install is super easy. Joe's write up was extremely thorough, and really negates anything I could hope to write. The hardest and longest part of the whole install was physically getting the whole diff and cross members out of the car. Once its on the bench you could have the job done within a half hour.
I kinda fudged my way through the whole feeler gauge part, and thrust washer bits. The backlash steps are pretty much unnecessary, as you're not working on the crown wheel or pinion gear or any of that. If you get it wrong - no big deal, the lokka just won't work terribly well.
The only confusing bits in the whole deal, was exactly where you need to put the feeler gauge and what you're actually measuring.
But seriously. Easy as to do.
Also, I compiled joes writeup into a PDF file for distribution and so you can print to work off while you do the job. PM me with you email address if you want a copy.
