Lockright install

Post by mike_nofx »

Hey all!
My lockright is on its way, and shortly i will be attempting the install!

I have found this website http://www.kenbeach.com/sammy_lock_right_install.htm
and would like to know if this is an accurate guide to follow? as far as dial indicator readings, torque settings etc.

Is there anything else worth mentioning that may not be in this guide?

It looks like a well written guide with good pics, but i thought i'd ask the experienced members on this forum for advice also.

Thanks
Mike

have plenty of clean rags and locktite.
take pictures of what ever you are doing too, will help you remember where everything goes. especially if its not back together in a day.

take note of how many turns it takes to undo the adjusters for the carrier.
and make sure you do it up to the same number.

do an oil change in the diff after a 1000k or so when the locker has worn in a bit to flush it out of any metal filings.
