Check the tech section on Pirate. Look for the D60 bible & a writeup on setting up the gears.

Are you replacing the gears too or just installing the locker? It is easier if you don't have to set the pinion depth.

I would remove the bearings and shims from the old carrier first. Then install the shims on the detroit the same way they were on the old carrier and then put on new bearings. Bolt it all up and check your gear pattern and backlash. You might luck out and have it work out the first time. If not you will have to mess with the shims until you get it right.

Tools would be a dial indicator with magentic base and a way to check the thickness of the shims. You also need a bearing seperator.

If you are putting in a new pinion you need a pinion depth tool.

I think Randy's has some more indepth instructions on their website in a .pdf format.


Here is a link to randys with some good info!
