Cone Style LSD

[Charlie Brown]

I have a couple of cone style LSD's currently in 741 cases with 3:55 gears. Is it possible to determine on the bench if these will need a rebuild or not. Without actually testing in the car, can I tell if they will function as designed by a visual bench inspection.

RRR did a tutorial 9n the A side on reconditioning a cone. If there's a test, he should know.
I suspect it would involve installing a couple axles, locking one axle, and seeing how hard to turn the other axle is.

Mine was so wore out you could see where the cone bottomed out against the housing. Dr diff has a repair kit for this. I haven't tried it yet though.
