go get a whole rear end out of a matching corolla at the wreckers.

else rebuild the one you have or pay someone a few hundred to do it.

yeah if you havent done much with cars or diffs the easiest fix is to undo a matching rear end

from the wreckers, it come out whole, with drums and axles and centre all together.

- undo leaf mounts, tailshaft, brake cables, wheels, shocks etc (also take any of these if you need them)

 

then undo your old rear end the same way

 

then bolt up the one you picked up at a wreckers earlier and put on all the gear you took off or disconnected.

make sure the breather bit is on top when transporting the new diff to avoid an oil spill .

 

then drain the oil of the new one and fill with new diff oil, make sure the filler plug comes out

first then drain (else if it doesnt you will drain and can't refill!)

you can get special pumps or use a long bit of hose with funnel and friend to refill.

 

it doesnt get easier than that!
