Took out my TR6's differential this afternoon. It took about 3 hours. I had
a bit of trouble  separating the u-joints from the flanges. As Dave Massey
said, I was able to remove it without pulling out the exhaust. The exhuast
did get in the way a bit though. Also, it's pretty scary having something
that big banging around near the fuel line. I'm guessing re-installing will
be a bit more difficult, but who knows?

My initial inspection reveals visible endplay in the pinion. Looks like
about 1/16". I'm guessing this is bad. Is it something that can be repaired
without a teardown? I'm guessing no. Any other tips for inspecting this or
for inspecting the used replacement I will likely be pursuing this week?

Thanks for all past and future advice.
