Ben:

I am not sure of the differences in a 2WD, but in a Syncro, it is a fairly
straightforward job if you have the right tools (particularly a set of
metric "crow's feet".  I can see that you also posted to the Syncro list,
and it looks like the answer is at hand.  (If not, you can find an article I
posted on the subject about two months ago in the Syncro List archives)
