There just are some things I know I shouldn't tackle on my own.  The differential is just one of them.  After hearing some of the horror stories of improper assembly of the differential I knew this fact.  So I solicited the services from Brian at Storey's Garage (381 N Verde Dr, Ontario, OR
(541) 889-3730) who is a restoration specialist and has the tools to do it right.

After a week or so Brian had it all done and it was ready for me to assemble.

A special purchase for this phase was the  "Rear Hub Nut Socket". Moss part #384-905.  Others had said just use a chisel and hammer, but they don't know me and my skills at not destroying things with these tools in my hands!

***IBCC Members - Have a MGA and need to use this!  Just let me know.

Just some of the pages from the MGA Guru web that I'd referenced during this phase:
