My torque specs I gave work out?

What was the before and after backlash readings?

Did you pattern the gears?

What did you figure out with the torquing of the ring gear bolts? The lock-tite and oil question.

The backlash was ck’d on the oem unit & was .004”
This was after draining fluid from diff, standing upright (pinion down) & removing rear cover...stub shafts still in place.
After re-assembling & dropping unit back in housing (new side bearings & thrust washers on same sides as they were removed from) & reading was .006” (this is with no oil coating on gears yet & stub’s not popped back in place).
Prior to putting new unit in, mike’d the thrust washers & ring gear side was a hair thinner than other side.
Removed bearing caps & raised unit up, then swapped sides of washers.
Backlash reading was .005” (pattern looked the same & this should snug up a tad after the 75/140 moves around in there).
The ring gear bolts are an odd size (m13x1.25)

Removing all loctite & cleaning up everything was a bit tedious, but got it right...after seating gear to unit; torqued to the initial ft.lb & then turned additional 35* while testing with torque wrench.
Was hitting the mark at 110ft.lbs.
Threads received high strength thread locker only (no oil

)
Had adequate tools to hold Wavetrac unit steady, while Madwi was hitting the final torque w/wrench (2-man job without clamping down Wavetrac)
Unit is built with 2 flats on each side, underneath side bearings (52mmx14mm) so holding steady with appropriate tools helped,,,but still took some umph to hit the mark with every ring gear bolt (criss-cross pattern)

PS: ring gear bolts were cleaned well, using anti-corrosion oil
