Although there was some mention in the original literature about the Ford Scorpio having a LSD as an option. In ALL the time that we have had dealings with them we have never found a car that had a LSD fitted.
It seems that Ford did not deem them a necessary option after fitting traction control to the higher spec cars which in some respects tries to imitate the actions of a LSD .
So in short the answer is an emphatic "NO"

If you want a LSD for the Scorpio then look to the sierra or earlier Granada as the axle from them might fit.
Or ring your local FMD.

I think the flanges just pull out
Might need a couple of tyre levers or crowbars to 'help' them.

yes, from memory flanges are spring clipped inside, should pull out, but will be tight.

Dont pull them out, there are circlips holding them on the inside, remove the backplate and the circlips can be removed
