<VV> Anyone in/near Dallas have a differential snout for a LM?

[airvair]

The snout is only replacable when the diff is completely torn down. It 
presses INTO the case. After it's replaced, then the diff has to be 
reset with the adjusting sleeves in the front and sides, so that the 
gears have a proper wear pattern.

If you want to have a quick fix, you're better off just to replace the 
entire diff. Don't ask how I know this. (G)
