On that point, I've noticed some chatter on the Starquest site that someone has successfully removed/replaced the torque tube; I haven't spent any time trying to find the details but would be an interesting read.

besides my diff replacement.. i think my torque tube is shot also.. regreased the spline up with ALOT of heavy grease.. and its still there. I honestly think its the bearing inside the torque as starquest members claim its a big issue that can cause vibration or clunk noises etc....

Well if you have a Euro import.. then you can have a open 6 bolt as most are open diffs here.
Both of my wideys started with a open diff
Had to import a LSD one from the UK so the DOHC conversion could actually put that power to the ground.
