Message	it is maybe you should consider buying a good used diff and save yourself the headache. Taking the diff apart and reassembling it isn't that hard if you have all the proper tools and measuring devices. The experience comes in setting pinion and gear lash and proper shimming. If your off by just a little you will destroy the diff and your back to square one.
