I’ve started to take my rear differential to bits just to see if I think I’m up to doing it by following your excellent images. If I give up, I may send you a box of bits. []
So far I’ve removed the casing bolts and have slightly split the case. I’ve also removed the two driveshaft flanges, and the solenoid unit.
I’ll have a look at your photos again and build a shopping list of tools to buy.
Looking through your images, I can see the 41mm socket / spanner that you have made to remove the locknut. I wonder if the following spanner could be used:

Hey Trev,
The 41mil Draper spanner looks fine to me, however, you might need to flex off a little from the outside all the way round the 41mil socket to fit it into the housing, it all depends on how thick the spanner is, but think you will be OK with that.
As Derrik pointed out, the Hex bolt is 17mil.
If any questions arise, give me a yell (might be a hard Yell to hear it over here all the way from Norway [] )
All the best,
Norway????
