If your differential case or thrust washers are excessively worn, your new Lock- Right Locker may not be able to operate as it was designed. Therefore, two easy measure- ments must be made before final assembly to assure that your new locker will function properly. To make these measurements, proceed as follows:
1) Remove the existing spider gears, side gears and thrust washers from the differential
case, and thoroughly clean it.
2) Install both Lock-Right couplers with the existing thrust washers in each end of the case. 3) Place the spacers onto the centers of the couplers (wide side toward the axle splines if
not symmetrical), and hold them there.
4) Install the pinion shaft; carefully guide it past the spacers as it is being inserted through
the holes in the case.
5) Measure the gap between each spacer and the pinion shaft with a feeler gauge. This
gap should be between .005” and .020”, with not more than a .008” difference between the two. If your numbers are within the limits specified, remove the parts and begin your installation. If your numbers are not within these limits, check the thrust washers and the differential case. If they are excessively worn or are damaged, they may need to be replaced before installing your new Lock-Right Locker
Be sure that the vehicle is safely blocked. Leave the axle assembly on the jack stands, with both tires free to rotate and the emergency brake off.
2. Put the transmission and transfer case in gear to lock the drive shaft.
3. Rotate one of the tires in the forward di- rection with your hand until it stops, then hold it. That side of the LOCK-RIGHT is now locked.
4. Rotate the other tire in the opposite (reverse) direction. The LOCK-RIGHT should “click” as the coupler attached to the axle rotates.
5. Rotate the first tire in the reverse direc- tion and hold it; repeat step 3, rotating the other tire in the forward direction.
6. Repeat steps 2-4, rotating and holding the second tire to lock the second side.
Ring gear to case bolts: 55 ft lbs. Differential bearing cap bolts: 57 ft lbs. Service re-torque: Ring gear to case bolts: 45 to 65 ft lbs.

Dude this video literally made the difference between me finally getting the locker installed or just throwing the stupid thing in the trash. I could NOT get those stupid pins figured out
Thank you for this well done educational video. I would have had a rain storm somewhere in the video if I tried to do this project. Carry On Sir!
Thanks Ronnie. I just installed a monkey grip which is identical to the lock rite in my CJ 3.54 carrier. Thankfully I saw your video and now I know to disassemble it all again and check tolerances. An extra 15 minutes now will save hours and extra dollars spent down the road should something go wrong due to poor tolerances.
Great video but I’m having a mini freak out with all the grass on the table 🤣
I've got a 99 tj I run on the road a lot ive got clutch locker in it how rough would it be on my jeep for front and rear
I know its a yr later but would this locker fit in a dana30 vari-lok carrier? My clutch packs have gone very bad. Its lifted AWD v8 with a 247 and 32in tires. And I cant find rebuild kits for it so I am doing a locker.
Man that looked easy....
I put mine in the front of a TJ with 355 gears in the axle, I had to pull one shaft
Good video. It shows your a good mechanic unlike alot of the dip shits putting in lunch box lockers.
How low gearing can you have before the locker will not fit ?????
How do you put the c clips in
Hey does this completely lock it up or does it allow the wheels to spin differently on corners. Was considering this as im fixing to regear mine but i dont have cad and dont want to break stuff on the street.
It keeps the diff open until locked in 4x4
@@cherokeeronnie i watched a bunch of videos and discovered this. I thought it was the same thing as a spool so i was looking at this ridiculously expensive locking hub conversion kit so i could lock the front up. Im definitely buying a lunchbox now. Thanks man!
They are definitely worth it. that’s all I have run not had much of a problem
So I installed this locker, now while driving slow or driving at all it will pop, then lock my steering wheel. Mainly turning left. Any idea on the fix? Would really appreciate it!
Waiting on someone to answer this.
Sounds like the tolerance was to tight
I really want to do this but I’m really scared I’ll mess it up, lol.
Just make sure your tolerance is right and your diff isn’t wore out you will be fine
@@cherokeeronnie thanks for your vote of confidence, lol.
Courage is doing what must be done, in the face of fear. Failure is the path to success. No one that has ever done anything good, did it without failure. Break stuff, and getter dun!@@officialWWM
What happened to measurements so you know it in spec case you have to add washer's or make smaller , this is the most important part of doing these as mine works perfectly in my rear Dana 35 1993 Xj 😲
It’s in the description
As other comments asked, where is the clearance measurements, critical to work properly!!
In the manual they give you a in-between measurements. The same measurements will not work with every diff that’s why I didn’t put it in the video
Installed mine the same and it doesn't work
Did you check the spacing and follow the specs
@cherokeeronnie were do I find the specs it's not on there website and my used jeep has this locker but don't lock up correctly
Why pull the carrier. I can't find one decent answer. You can fit all the stuff in and out without pulling the carrier.
You can’t get the pen out with 355 gearing
U should of done it with the c clips
Didn't go over locking axle with c clips. Not that easy dude
Don't you have to adjust backlash and all that jazz?
No just make sure the locker isn’t to tight
I am going to make a video proving everyone wrong. You do not need to remove the carrier or the ring gear.
You can’t get the pen out unless you grind down a gear depending on the gearing you have the pen hits the ring gear on 355 gears
he missed an important step. you have to measure tolerances. if it is out it wont work. save yourself some headache and do the measurements. you may have to buy some side gear shims for $10 to make it right
I bought a used jeep with this locker any idea were I get the specs it don't lock up correct slips way to easy
@@jeremyhanna3852 you should be able to find it on the company website
i bought a new one and i was having trouble getting it to unlock. it was banging loud. i got the clearances as close to the middle of the range as possible. i ended up taking out the factory springs and installing some weaker springs from the hardware store. i went tried different stiffness springs until it seemed to engage and disengage less aggressively. it still locks, but doesn't scare the pedestrians in the parking lots anymore. maybe some stronger springs will help your situation if shimming doesn't fix it.
I can buy a spartan today for $161 dollars
