    HanksDeuce - Installing an Ouverson Locker in your Rockwell Axle

    See Step #27 above. Below you will find discussion & pictures regarding the safety wire (and alternative) for finishing the rear locker install. 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...

    HanksDeuce - Installing an Ouverson Locker in your Rockwell Axle

    I have a build thread with all of my modifications in it, but this breakout thread will be for those that don't normally read my build thread.
