I would like to take my detroit apart and clean the metal out if there is any. If someone has some pics, links, or tips it would really help. Re: Detroit locker disassembly [Re: bodo] #799211 03/22/07 08:39 PM Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 65 Folsom, CA E Eck Getting the Wheeling Fever There is really not much to it. Pull the 2 axle shafts out a bit, disconnect the driveshaft from the yoke on the rear end and take out the whole unit. Leave everything together on the ring and pinion side so you don't have to adjust anything. Maybe use a magnet to tickle out the big chunks and flush the rest. 92 Xcab V6 4x4 SR5 5sp., Detroit locker rear, lim. slip front, Warn hubs, H4's, electr. fan, eng. oil cooler, 1 lift, open cat.

I know how to pull a third and get the locker out, what I want to do is take the actual locker apart.

I did get the link to Zuk's writeup from a guy on the pirate board but there wasn't any torque specs when he put it back together. I'll probably email him and just ask.

I'll be glad when my gears get here because I'm riding around on a stock geared third that's welded with 36s and I hate it.
