Install the ring gear bolts hand tight in a star pattern.

Torque the bolts with a torque wrench in that same
star pattern. Start by torqueing the bolts to 20 ft./lbs.,
then to 40 ft./lbs., 60 ft./lbs., and
finally 85 ft./lbs. Notice
that I had to brace the carrier using a piece of black pipe
entered through the carrier and anchored to a bench
vice.

During the sequence of torqueing the bolts down to 85 ft./lbs. I had problems bracing the carrier
enough to tighten the bolts down. At one point I lost
control of the unit and it spun to the ground.
In the end I had to place the carrier on the floor and use a large piece of black iron pipe (the one used
to remove the axle
bearings earlier) to brace it against the wall. If at this point you have not removed
the differential pieces (because you are not rebuilding the traction lok
unit) you will have to be
creative and very carefull.
