[Supras] Checking LSD for proper operation

[Jeff Mohler]

Ya..few manuals tell you a torque.

I bench test them with a section of axle in a vise, and an adapted
other chunk with a socket welded to it to use a torque wrench.

If I dont mind getting dirty, I can reshim an RX7 LSD in about 20 min
once it's out of the car at the racetrack, which at _times_ includes
cutting a shim out of a beer can, which is about 10-15thou if I didnt
bring my 5 and 10thou rolls with me.

Hey..works...

The supra LSD has more neat bits that fall out when rebuilding it, so
maybe an hour once outta the car.
