So I pulled out my carrier out of my pumpkin and got my diff welded. I rushed the process of taking the diff apart and didn't get a chance to mark any of the parts. I need some reassurance that I did everything right.
Can someone review my photos and tell me if everything looks ok?
What i am worried about I'm not sure if i put the bearing caps on right. One of the sides is no sitting flush like the other side. (check 4th picture)
It's not going to kill me if I used a torque gun to torque down the bolts right? It's hard using a wrench because the diff moves around. The ring gear bolts I torque down with a gun and used red loctite. I didn't loctite the bearing cap bolts though.
I also had to press the carrier bearings with a block of wood and hammer.
Is there anything I need to make sure of before I throw the cap and fill up the diff? Anything I should be cautious of?
Thanks!
