First I've read numerous threads on here about what it takes to install one of these and yet can't seem to find a definitive description of what needs done to the make it fit properly.

Originally the car had the VLSD and currently has a Quaife installed (version of Quaife requiring base model stub axle). I'm just trying to figure out what my shop is going to need to do in order to get the OSG installed. I know I've seen more than once that some machining is required on the stub shaft but never what was actually done (ie. mill location "x" down by 2mm or turn shaft down by 1.5mm). I'm just trying to make sure that my shop has all the information to install this correctly and efficiently.

Also, anyone have any idea on how long the install takes?
