Right
Will a LSD diff head fit into a non LSD axle housing?
Will I just need to yank the axles out, Put the LSD head in and bolt it all back together?

Provided they are both "HG" type (233mm) and are the same ratios.
Easy swap over too.

Check the lenght of the axles, I got caught out . Bearings were seized on my factory locker diff so to save money & time I removed axles from a spare LSD & tried to fit them into the locker diff, wouldn't fit. Compared the 2 sets long side (lsd) too short & short side too long?!

an open diff carrier externally looks the same as a non lsd carrier, well the stronger ones do anyway.
i thought the same aswell when mine got taken out. but mine was only open, just about caught me out i though i had the wrong oil in then diff......
