I had mine rebuilt in Santa Rosa, California by The Rear End Shop (honestly that's their name).

However, Santa Rosa being in the same state is still a heck of a long ways from Carlsbad.

You could give Guldstrand's a call but he is kind of spendy too, I think Dick's shop is in Burbank or close to it now.

Tom's moved to Idaho but there is still a gear shop there. I'm not sure if they rebuild diffs or not.
