Were the spider gears heat treated? (Might be why they broke) I just tore apart my new moroso brute force posi to clean it since it had been sitting and I'm trying to sell it. 800lb springs, 22 clutch, it's also got heat treated spiders and cross shaft. They should be black in color if they're heat treated I believe (mine are) I used a set of big adjustable pliers to compress the springs while my buddy tapped it in. Probably the easiest and fastest way but you kinda need a big ol gorilla grip lol. Also use the gear lube moroso recommends (theirs or GM) if you don't you got 99% chance the thing is going to chatter like crazy

Yeah I don't think the previous spider gears were heat treated. The new ones are. Once you got the springs in were you still able to spin the gears under your own force? Mine seemed shimmed perfectly but once I inserted the springs it seemed pretty much locked up. Not sure if this is normal or not. I'm assuming it would spin under some force or with a cheater bar or something.
