IS removing a 80 rear diff from axle like in this video the same procedureas 90 series?

[MisterCruiser]

The bolts he uses to screw into the hubs to pull out the half shafts, can this technique be used on the 90 series, does the 90's hubs have them same threaded holes?

Also, if I don't use / need my rear diff locker (it's seized) can I purchase arear axle case with no diff locker feature and put my original diff into a new case with no diff lock actuator?

Is there any other sources to purchase a new genuine rear case in Ireland / Uk apart from Milners 4X4 and Toyota dealers? Roughtrax don't seem to sell them.

If someone could answer the below even it'd be helpful as I could buy the slightly cheaper axle case with no diff lock actuator hole in it. I got my axle welded and through the annual test but it's going to need more work in a yr or 2 so I think I'll buy it now and have it waiting.

The rear axles on an 80 and 90 are completely different beasts. But stripping either isn't that difficult. We had to do mine in the field when I blew the rear diff to pieces at Lincomb one year. Any rear diff drop is the same process. Prop, half shafts, flange case nuts. If you ended up with a case for a locker but didn't have a locker, making a blanking plate is really simply. You could practically use the cork out of a wine bottle it's that simple. Getting a housing without a locker cut out might prove harder to be fair.

Can anyone confirm the part no. of the rear axle casing / housing for a 90 series SWB colorado 3.0L 1KZ-E engine model with a diff lock.
I checked on that Amayama site and it lists 4 or 5 different part numbers so i don't know which one it is.

I can't see the part no. in the link below either

I'm getting this for a shortie.

 

[MisterCruiser]

Thanks very much, what site did you get that from, very handy to see the prices too.
Why is there a difference between a cruiser with abs and no abs in the context of replacing the axle? I'd have thought they'd still be the same axle.

TOYOdiy. It's an invite only thing.

Probably just a hole or bracket where ABS cables or sensors mount somehow. You can't tell from the info on the drawings.
