You need to make sure the diff has the same dimentions as the unit your pulling out. Is it swing or IRS?
If at first you don't succeed, beat the pshaw out of the business partner, and then go at it alone! LOL!

It is a super diff for a swing axle and is going into a swing axle.

I have done those, first, check the number of bolt holes in the super diff and see if they match the diff unit in your transmission.
Removing the bearings is hard to do, but can be done, and you just have to make sure you don't damage the bearings when removing them.
Watch for any spacer "rings" and note which side they are one and do the same for the bearings.
Measure the length of the new diff to the old diff and make sure they are the same.
Reinstall the pieces just like they came off and if the dimentions are the same on the diffs, the unit will have the right "mesh" when reinstalled.
I hope this helps!
