I recently sent a complete diff assembly that I sold and it weighed close to 45kg including the pallet.

I didn't weigh the pallet separately.

It's light enough to bench press and heavy enough to break a rib if it falls back down. Use a trolley back.

All the components weigh 29kgs with a type 1 torsen, might be 1kg difference to a type 2. Open diff would be approx 3kg lighter.
