i used jb weld in the STICK version and it worked farily well. I just rolled it into little balls and packed it full then replaced the top gear.. It is super easy and should only take about 20 to 30 min. the JB stick also hardens alot faster than the liquid form. mine was locked 5 minuts after i got the axels back together. Just put itback together the same way you took it apart.

If you got an extra 25 bucks i would strongly suggest to get a set of maximizer diff lockers. i have them and they are awsome! tight fitting, and beefy. id have to say it made my stocker into a rocker. carful when bashing at higher speeds with both ends locked it tends to roll way easier. she can chew threw snow pretty good now.

If you fill like just going with the JB weld, i would say go for it. I went with locker on mine but i locked the front of my savage 25 with it and it is still holding strong.
