Thanks for this great write-up. I used it successfully yesterday. I'm slow and careful so it took me 12 hours, not including deadtime. I did have to "persuade" the CV axle/inner axle combination back in with a few taps with a hammer.
Particular good tip was the info on creating the small slide hammer. My local dealer didn't even have the factory required slide hammer in their shop tool inventory. Marksae's home built model worked like a charm and the inner axles were easily removed.

Changing the diff will not affect the end play of the diff carrier inside the transfer case.

I'm scared to really test this thing on public roads, so I plan to bring my car to the next auto-x to really test it.
Question:
What class are you running in in AutoX that will allow you to run the front Diff?
