With the diff rebuilt, i bought the required gaskets seals and bearings to put the axle back together. I bought the correct wheel bearing kits which include the bearing, oil seals, spacer. They include a sachet of bearing grease too, which is nice. They don't include the hub gaskets, so these were bought individually. I also bought a new diff to housing gasket.
I carefully put the diff gasket over the housing studs, but a small tear appeared. This isn't much of an issue as the gasket still formed around the stud.
The diff was then carefully lowered onto the studs and bolted down using the original spring washers and nuts. I then started to clean up the diff housing. Next
task is to remove the hub nuts and hubs to replace the wheel bearings. These are notoriously hard to remove. The left hand hub nut has a left hand thread, the right a right hand thread, important to remember when undoing them!
