Could I remove the lsd from my 325 diff and fit it to an open diff with a different ratio? Any advice appreciated!

You mean disassemble an LSD and rebuild it with the gearwork of a regular open diff?

Simple answer is no. You need some serious tools to do diff work, and lots of knowledge too. If you have any diff questions, contact the user "Gareth".
