Rockwell locker install

Give yourself time to recover from the excitement. We don't need trembling hands here. I'm left handed so I chose the left side carrier case half. Don't judge me! If you are Canadian you might say "Offer up the other carrier case half, eh? Align the bolt holes and reinstall all bolts.

I used 60 ft-lb, ft-lb, and finished with ft-lb. Your mileage may vary. Ain't no metric system within yards of my house. You can keep your newton meters. Verify your alignment marks! Everything goes back where it came from. Make sure to slide on the corresponding bearing retainer on the appropriate bearing beforehand.

Before fully tightening the side adjusting nuts take a look at my video below. You want to make sure the gears are meshing in alignment like they were before. If you shine a light into the differential housing you can see the wear pattern on the bottom bevel gear and the bull gear. If you tighten a side adjusting nut it will push the entire differential assembly away from that adjusting nut. If you aren't a millwright either call one or go purchase a magbase stand and a dial indicator to set the gears correctly.

See the pictures and TM photos for more information. You can use your favorite prybar inside the housing, or you burly men can just grab the bull gear with one hand and the nearest bearing cap with the other. Again, 0. If you have more than that continue to alternately tighten each side adjusting nut. If the side of the bull gear has less than 0.

Thank the good Lord and go to the next step. I had 0. Rock the bull gear back and forth with the dial indicator in the center of one tooth.

You are aiming for 0. If you pass this test again thank the good Lord. Otherwise you have to replace parts. Next, safety wire the bull gear bolts as well as the 4 bearing cap bolts and the set screws attached to the side adjusting nut locking tabs. Follow the steps in reverse to put your axles back in, fill with fluid, etc.

I was just pointing out a detail that "someone" had a glove on. I am a technical engineer so these little details stick out for me. Also your truck looks great and the write ups I read are very helpful. Thanks to everyone putting that effort into write ups because it helps me alot. I have only just begun my adventure with mine a few months ago and still have a lot to do to it. Last edited: Nov 16, Thanks for your effort on doing this write up Hank!

I always was curious about how lockers were installed. I really appreciate it when people like yourself do all the extra work of taking nice pictures while doing the job and then taking the time afterwards to explain it in a nice write up Nomadic Active member.

Nice detail. How much do you think you saved by doing the work yourself? Nomadic said:. See Step 27 above. I decided against safety wire on the ring gear nuts due to internal clearance issues with the differential housing. Any place that I tried to tuck the twisted end of the safety wire scraped on the inside of the housing. Cotter pins installed properly should provide just as much protection.

Notes on final pictures: - 0. Decided on "Example 1" of the attached safety wire examples for the bearing cap bolts. See small picture for typical wiring method.
