This needs to be a sticky.
This is the guy that tought me how to build the Eaton Posi back in the '80s. This should be helpfull to many people.
This also works on the 8.5 Traction Lock, 9 inch, 8.8 and 7.5 Ford Trac Lock and sevral other differentials that use flat clutches. I go ahead and install the preload springs. Tom doesn't use preload springs. This is a choice that you will have to make on your own.

I am trying to learn all I can and I am curious why you choose to use the preload springs. Do you do this for a living or a hobby? I am asking because I need to rebuild my 10 bolt and am looking for a source to rebuild my unit or buy everything to rebuild mine including axles. BTW Can a 8.5 diff in a 73 camaro be upgraded to 30 spline axles? Thanks for any input you can offer!!

great videos BTW. Thanks for posting.
