Hey guys. I have a torsen LSD out of a Supra that needs to be rebuilt since its leaking out of the pinion and axle seals. I'm planning on putting it into my 2002 GS300 and need to get it rebuilt before I throw it in. So far I feel like I've struck out in finding a place to do this. The contacts in the area that I've reached to either don't want to touch it because its not what they're used to working on or want $800+ if I supply all of the parts ($400). Does anyone here have any recommendations for a shops around the NOVA area that will do a differential rebuild for a reasonable price? The going rate seems to be around $400 including in expensive areas like CA from what I've seen online. I'm semi inclined to do the job myself for that price since I essentially have all of the tools to do the job (minus 2 or 3) that I could get at the Hazard Fraught but I'm not feeling confident about correctly setting the pinion spacing and resulting gear pattern. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks Taylor! How can I get in touch with Jason? I haven't been very active in MM for a pretty long time but I'd like to start being more involved.
Also I reached out to MachV and they quoted me a far more reasonable $500 but I would love to try and do it myself rather than pay someone else so I can learn a new skill. If anyone is around NOVA and wants to hang out, talk cars, and help me with the diff I can provide food and beer/alcohol in exchange for knowledge and some help. I have a press and almost all of the tools to do the job but I can meet somewhere else potentially.
