Rear Locker to Open diff (1 Viewer)

[Cruiselander96]

Hi everyone! Long-time lurker here, but this is my first post. I did some searching and found plenty of threads about converting open differentials to lockers, but not much on doing the opposite.

I have a '96 LX450 with a lunchbox locker in the rear installed by the previous owner. Occasionally, when reversing out of a parking spot and shifting into Drive, there’s a loud bang that jolts the rear end. Since I daily drive my 80 and only take it on occasional road trips or camping, I don’t think a rear locker is necessary for my needs.

My question is: what parts should I gather before opening up the rear diff to remove the locker?

Is this sufficient to convert back to rear diff?

Per tradition, here is a pic of my 80. Cheers!

Anyone with an ARB or Eaton locker probably has everything you need if they didn't scrap it already. I couldn't give away any of the stock open diffs I've removed, so eventually sent them to the scrap yard.

Thank you, that's good to know. I wanted to post here first before I post over to the Sell thread
