Lock-Right install on Dana 35 non c-clip

I just got my powertrax lock-right locker (P/N 2310S2).

I am hoping to install it in the rear axle of my 1989 XJ. I believe the rear axle is a Dana 35, non c-clip, 27 spline, 3.08 ratio. The part number stamped on the axle tag is 53003516.

Given its a non-c-clip axle (if I am right), there is a possibility that the ring gear is too thick to slide the pinion shaft out, which means I will have to take out the carrier.

Anyone know if that is true? And, anyone done this on this particular axle and have any hints or tips?

I did it in my 88 non-c clip and you dont have to take out the carrier.
Just need to slip the copilot axle a litle bit out.

:doh:
no comment on the locker

And yes, slide the opposing shaft out.

Agree to the above posts..well, except the one about the locker.

It works just fine for me, and has been for 4 yrs.....

I did have to remove one of the carrier bearing caps to get the pin out for the stock cross shaft tho

mine is also an 88 non-clip d35
