I like to do as much work on my own as possible, to both add personal value and to save money. Thanks to mother natures cocaine storm of a winter thus far I have come to find my rear 14 bolt FF doesn't have a locker.
My thoughts (and what I'm asking you guys if it is acceptable):
Pull the diff. Rebuild the axle. Install the locker in the carrier. Bolt the hubs and cover plate on without the carrier installed. Drive it to a drive line shop. Have them place the diff and adjust accordingly.
That way I'm rebuilding the axle and only paying for someone to properly set the gear and opinion.
