    Not easy to change! You have to strip the whole diff to remove the pinion shaft so you can get a puller in there to get the outer race out of the casing. Then you will need to replace the crush spacer and re-set the pinion pre-load. Quite a few special tools required.

          Just as AndyP said - collapsible spacer need to be crushed to correct value.if you don't get it right it will be noisy straight away or will premature wear will occur to pinion bearing and you will have to do the job twice .
