In doing a rear disc brake conversion, like a moron, I loosened the carrier bolts holding the rear diff in place. Thought I had to in order to get at the c clips and remove the semi floating axles. I removed the rear drums and reinstalled the axles. I put everything back together (after the spider gear came apart) and bolted it up. Unfortunately, the diff won’t spin. When I loosen the carrier bolts holding the diff in place, specifically on the ring gear side, it spins. Clearly. I’ve f’d something up.
My questions is...do I have to remove the diff in order to a properly align the carriers, bearings and diff adjusting nuts or can I do this while it’s in place on the truck?
