yea i installed it yesterday nothing special was needed i did go ahead and pick up a new gasket it was only like 2$ something so it wasnt a biggie the only tool i needed for this that i didnt have was a macrometer for measuring the center gap of the locker but rather than that i was all good

well if anyone has the same troubles of removing the wheel hub assembly, bashing away at it for hours with a hammer is a waste of time (ask me how I know...) Just do this, and it will come right apart

Bearings are attached to the carrier via press. They don't need to be reshimmed as the shims are behind the bearings themselves. As long as you do things carefully and follow my instructions for this type of diff you won't need to gear mark or preload anything.

im about to install the aussie on my dana 30 and i was wondering if it is absolutely necessary to remove the shift motor on the passanger side axle? i have the 4x4 posi lock so im not sure if i want to mess with removing it since i didnt install it either

YJ89jeepTX, if you remove the passenger side axle, a collar which connects passenger side axle and center axle will be left inside of axle tube. You have to put it back to the axle when you install the axle back. So, you have to remove the shift motor to do this. The posilok should be very simple for you if you can install the aussie. You may do search how that shift motor works in this forum. good luck.

Been a long time since I've done this install but pretty sure it needs to be pulled in order to slide the inner shaft over out of the way, then back into place. The carrier won't come out with the inner shaft still in it, and the inner can't (if I remember right) slide over far enough to leave the carrier as the ring\shift motor would block it's movement. Someone may correct me on this, I did this install years ago. It's not a big deal to remove, if you have the "cable" style shift it's the exact same as the stock one, but a cable instead of fragile vacuum lines.

this write up will deff come in handy this weekend. i just oreded my aussie and will have my computer by my side thru the whole process. great write up. im itchin to get started

[yjjeepn92]

if i pull the intermediate shaft out (towards passenger side) 4 inches or so will it slide back in just as easy?

[yjjeepn92]

hate to write three post in a row, but i just saw a thread about the different shims that are needed. will it be obvious as to which shims i need to use or do i need to use some sort of gaping tool? i could use a litte clearing up on this...
thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for this excellent write up! I installed my Aussie locker on Wednesday and after having read your write up it made the job fast and easy.

[sethkins88]

Awesome write up, helped out alot!

[JC86CJ]

Great write-up! Thanks a lot for the info!

Any advice on using Loctite on the ring gear bolts? If yes, blue or red? Hopefully I won't be taking the ring off again.

I realize in the write-up it mentions the use of red loctite, but when I removed the ring gear bolts, there was no evidence that loctite was used on those bolts.

Two quick questions..

Do you guys use axle grease on the new locker?

Can I reuse the rolling pin or do I need to get a new one?
