Has anyone else considered adding spring washers under the bolts holding the center diff carrier-halfs together?
Seems odd to me that the low range gear bolts have spring washers but not the diff carrier.
Of course all bolts will get the loctite 263 treatment...

nevermind that, for what it's worth loctite is marketed as a replacement for spring washers, and in some cases better performing.
Make sure you clean out the threads before using it though!
After researching to make sure I apply it properly, I have confidence it's not coming apart.
here is my quick-n-dodgey layshaft bearing race removal tool (4mm steel cut with grinder and a m12 thread tapped.) maybe I was lucky it did not put up much of a fight [biggrin]

Not sure if it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but thanks to Brian for telling me what to look for in terms of worn parts on the LT95 mainshaft:
- thrust washers typically don't show wear as they are case hardened, if you can feel a grove at all with your fingernail replace them
- syncro rings, you want the face of the syncro ring to sit as close to the face of the gear cone as possible
