Stock differential w/locker

Does anyone have a tip on holding the diff. case down so I can torque the case cap and ring gear in?  Do I just need to find a gorilla big enough to hand hold it (58-65 ft/lbs)?

Also am I reading the case cap bolt torque right 27 - 32.5 ft/lbs?  It seems pretty high for those little guys.

Thanks, Jim

    I use  a chain style pipe wrench. Dont remember torque values off hand.

Thanks tipover. Hopefully I can find one to rent. Wonder if a large oil filter wrench and cheater would work?

I bought mine from harbor frieght for about 13 bucks.

I found one at Harbor Freight that attaches to a 1/2 inch drive for $6 and got it done. thanks.

Glad to be of assistance.

I got the rear locker in and 4.9:1 transfer case gears. It's a modest ride, but just what I want for now.

You always start somewhere.
