Dont think its possible to do it in the truck. I used Traxxass pegs in place of the balls. Also replaced the cheesey "plastic nut holder with the little fingers" with a nyloc nut so I could really tighten it tight. But like I said, I'm afraid you'll have to pull the trans out to do it.

No, its not.

I took out the metal plates in the diff and screwed both sides together with 4-40 screws. Its not going anywhere
