Got a package in the mail today!
Bought a used OX locker for the D-44. I unpackaged it and disassembled it for inspection. This thing is built really well and was easy to work on. There are 4 large spider gears and one of the 2 side gears has a series of detents that line up with the locking collar, which is actuated by the cable.
I called OX to get torque specs for the 8 1/4" bolts that hold the one cap on the carrier. They were great to talk with and they told me to throw out the flat washers under those bolts and to install some locking washers along with loctite.
Got it all bolted back together and the ring gear on it, which also has new fixing bolts along with some loctite.
