The latch is actually in the upward position and won't come down so I can't check for the "click" you mentioned. I plan to work on it this weekend....

Kelly; You’ll notice I made a math mistake…I didn’t get 9.8% increase. It was 278/11.9=23.36 : 23.36/21.5=1.0865 or only 8.7% increase. Still quite a...

Just a point…if you dealing with tight hex head bolts don’t use 12 point sockets or wrenches, they don’t have enough engagement to not round the corners...

True. I'm at a loss, here, with experience, as after the OEM diff exploded @ 55K, the replacements tended to blow up every 8K-11K miles. I was very familiar...
