help with swapping input flanges into an R200 lsd

[Dreco]

Hello all, just got my 300ZX lsd R200. I know I need to swap a few things from my stock R200, but was wondering, before I dive into it, how easy is it to change the input flanges from the "cv" type to the "u-joint" type? Is there a clip that holds them in, or do they just pop out??? I have heard the swapping the flange that bolts to your drive shaft yoke is a little more difficult. Is this something that needs to be done at a shop?

Dreco,

from what I am reading your 240 already has an R200 fitted. The change out you are doing is not to hard from this point.

the existing CV joints will be held in with a locking circlip. To large screwdrivers under the inner flange and lever away from the body this will seperate the CV from the body without damage.

Remove your existing R200 with drive flanges in place (drive shafts attached is okay) from the vehicle. Sit the two R200 next to each other. Remove the left drive flange inspect the circlip for condition and install it on the right hand side position on the new R200 checking that the shaft circlip locks in and engages. Remove the right hand flange and instal in left hand position in the new R200 inspecting and confirming engagement.

Install Fresh R200 into the Z with the existing hardware.

I hope this helps

cheers
