5) Now it's bench time. Take the carrier to a clean table top and remove the ring gear bolts, I used the same black magic marker to mark the position of the ring gear on the carrier. Next take a small punch and hammer out the rolling pin that holds the pinion shaft which holds the spider gears (small rounded gears) to the carrier. Once this is removed, take out the spider gears and side gears along with the thrust washers.

6) Now we can start to install the Lock-Right parts into the carrier. First coat all the parts with grease, this will help hold everything together in the carrier. Take the thrust washers from the old side gears and put them onto the couplers. Next place a spacer into the center of each driver, wide end towards teeth. Place a shear pin into each window hole, they should sit flush. Now put a coupler (with a thrust washer) into the carrier where one of the old side gears went, then install the other coupler and washer into the opposite side. Install one driver and spacer assembly (teeth meshed with the teeth from the coupler), then the other driver and spacer assembly. Using a very small precision type flathead screwdriver, push the shear pins over into the coupler on the opposite side to join them together.

7) Take the springs that came with the Lock-Right and place the little springs into the bigger springs, you should have a total of 4 doubled-up springs. place one set of these springs into the e-longed hole of the driver assembly and push in and seat it with the small screw driver. Repeat this for the other 3 springs and holes. Replace the pinion shaft and rolling pin. The Lock-Right assembly should be all together and tight in the carrier. Time to bolt the ring gear on, it's a good idea to place the carrier assembly into a vise. These bolts need to be alternately tighten to 70-90 ft. lbs. (I went with 80 ft. lbs.) torque.
