Hi TOrana.
They are easy to fit, if you're talking about a mini-spool, not a full spool.
Remove your axles, take off the diff cover & remove the crown wheel & hemisphere complete, taking note on which spacer goes where. The mini-spool just fits in place of the LSD cone & side gears. Re-assemble & bolt the crown wheel & hemisphere back in, fitting the 2 spacers back where they came from. No setting up required.
AFAIK you can't fit a mini-spool to an open-centred Holden Salisbury diff, they will only fit into an LSD hemisphere.

A full spool replaces the entire differential centre (ie the housing inside that holds the spider/side gears). The ring gear bolts to it and the axles slide into the splines, that's all there is to it.
A mini spool replaces the side gears only, and locks the centre section of the differential.
Sarsha as Dr Terry said there aren't mini-spools available for a non-LSD Salisbury, and also AFAIK none at all for the 'small' Salisburys. Ur lack of a locker can be rectified with an arc welder.

so l guess you would use a full spool or mini spool in say a nine inch diff to make it stronger..less likely to break something

I've seen prime mover diffs shit themselves. Nothing is unbreakable, not even Hilux's. It boils down to how it's treated and the load appllied to it.

The weak point in a 9" is the bearing caps. Strange Nodular centre fixes this and then the diff would be safe for 850-900hp. Axles however are a different story.
