I dunno. What did this come out of?  Maybe if you remove the large screws on the ring gear flange you will be able to get to the other side of the pin?  Picture of the other side?

 

it came out of a subaru outback limited (maybe 1999 or 2000) its an lsd with 4.44 gears, unfortunately i only have 2 pics available at this moment i will post a few more once i get home from work. i took it to a gear shop and they told me the same i took the large screws out and it does not go thru, the only things in there are the clutch disc's. maybe later models are different than the previous?? i was thinking about drilling it out with a small bit.

I see.  This How-To was written with the older (80's) R180.  I have no experience with later Subaru stuff as far as bolt in axle conversions.  Post some more photos when you get a chance.  Is this a R160 or R180 and how many splines does it have?  If not 25 spline you will not be able to get the threaded buttons in.  Another thing is that I don't know if this will work on an LSD unit, mine was an open diff that I had welded afterward.

oh i see, i was hoping they will be the same but i understand whats happening, i will definitely post a few more. to be honest im not too familiar with rear ends or know how to tell em apart,  i believe it is a 25 spline. if worst comes to worst i have an open diff on my dime right now i will just swap gears and get it welded.

510boy, check here:  http://community.ratsun.net/topic/59499-lsd/

It seems that is a newer VLSD. 

 

There is one of these on Ebay converted with the buttons, so it must be possible.  The Ebay ad:
