Its easy, Jack the car up and put some car stands under it.. have a bit of a look. Unbolt 1/2 of the tail shaft first... then unbolt the flanges either side of the diff (there will be 5 bolts)

Once you do this, Look at the back of the diff, and there will be 2 bolts, unbolt them. The diff will still sit in as there is 2 more bolts supporting it up the front. Un-do this bolts, but dont completly undo them, then if your strong enough, hold the diff into place with one hand, and undo the bolts with the other hand, and slide if foward. The diff will then come out... and your done. Hope this helps

Its really easy

I put the stands on under the chasis rails behind the diff area mine go quite high so it was about a meter off at the back. first remove the exhaust pipe, mine had a flange just in front of the diff and then remove breather, then, with hand brake on, loosen all the bolts on the drive train (5 each side of the diff and 4 on each end of the 1/2 tail shaft) I took off the bracket that crosses under this shaft to make it easier to remove it, and remove 1/2 shaft. Then the 2 bolts at the back are really hard to get at, I ended up putting the socket on the nut then putting the extension in to undo them and when you get to a certain point take the socket off and undo by hand cause you cant get the nut out with the socket on it!!! then I put a jack under the diff undo the fornt two bolts and push it forward while lowering it. Getting it back in is tricky but not difficult if you have some to help, I didnt and it took 3 goes. Rassemble is not complicated as the parts are self aligned. If you need any more help PM me.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
