Install the six bearing retainer bolts and lock washers and torque in a crosswise pattern to 65 ft/lbs.
Of note, the stock 3/8-NC16 bolts used to secure the pinion bearing retainer to the axle housing (middle) are neither 3/4" nor 1" in length.
I wanted to replace mine, so I checked the depth of the tapped blind holes in the axle housing and discovered that the longer 1" bolts work fine without bottoming.
