as far as i have been told as long as the carrier is going back in the same axle you shouldn't have any problems but if the axles are unknown condition it might be a good idea to have em checked with the added stress of welded spiders.

as long as you dont loosen the bolts holdin the ring gear on the carrier!

no.... but lay everything out. and i mean exactly! remember which side was up, out, over, under, etc. it DOES make a difference
