Just wondering if its possible to replace the welded spider gears to make an open diff again or would I have to replace the whole housing?
TIA

you will have to replace the carrier and spider gears unless you can cut the spider gears apart...if you can, you can get away with replacing just the spider gears. It will be easier to just get a new carrier ad be done with it.

If welded properly (gear to gear and to carrier) you wont be able to change em.
