Slide your axles in far enough to get your c-clips back on then pull them to seat the c-clip in the carrier. Slide you pin in to lock in the axles. Then your lock bolt and torque it 23-30 ft lbs per Eaton. Now the cover, my kit came with a gasket but I used RTV ( I like to take my paint marker and leave a message on the inside of the cover only the next guy in will see such as "go USA!)
Eaton specifies- fill with conventional 80w90 and limmited slip additive. The fill plug is on the right side a little over half way up and is removed with a 3/8 drive. Add fluid till it overflows.
