Ok, first things first... I ordered an Aussie locker a few days ago, it will be at my door tomorrow (Monday). I need to know a few things.
1. What's the best way to install it? Being a semi-floater, it's got an inspection cover on the rear of the housing. Is it easier to install with that cover removed, or should I just drop the whole 3rd (I know it's heavy)?
2. What is the best way to re-seal the axle? I have a new gasket for the diff cover, should I use some type of RTV on it or just the gasket? Also, I don't have a new gasket for the 3rd. I've heard that it's better to NOT use a gasket on the 3rd, is this true?
3. C-clips and axle seals. Will I need new ones, or will the old ones be fine to reuse?
That's all I can think of for now.....I'll post up if I think of more.
thanks
