Couple of things.
1. Why did you not get a high pinion diff since you got the whole thing new?
2. I always bent the tabs over on the first nut so I can torque the second nut without moving the first nut when doing wheel bearings.
3 Do not throw the stock trunion pins or bearings away, you never know when you might need them. Or you run into someone on the trail that might need them. Keep them in your spares box.
1. I would have loved to have been able to fit a high pinion diff. But the exhaust on my diesel is on the passenger side and having a high pinion front diff would have caused interference with the exhaust on full compression.
2.I do bend the tab over on the first nut, but I wait until I have torqued the lock nut. I have never had the first nut move while torquing the lock nut.
3. That's a good point. Trail spares are good to have. Especially trunion bearings. They do ocasionally blow up on the trail.
