    I purchased this Trac-lok kit with a set of 410 gears and bearing install kit. When I opened up my rear end to inspect the original 308 gears, bearings, and trac-lok I found that the original friction plates had broken tabs. I found them in the bottom of the housing all bent up from the gears. I was also getting one wheel burn outs due to the failing traction lok. I rebuilt my traction lok with this kit instead of paying $200 plus for another one. All together it took me about 15mins to rebuild the traction loc, although I did soak the friction plates for 24 hours prior to install. I could NOT use the S spring that came with the kit. It seemed thicker and I could not get it to compress enough to fit. Nevertheless I did reuse the original S spring and got it back in with a pair of 9" needle nose vise grips and a pair of 11" needle nose pliers. After you install the friction plates which come arranged in the proper order from American Muscle just slide in your side gears and while holding them in place put one pinion gear in at a time and rotate the side gears to pull the pinion gears into place. When you put the S spring in squeeze one half of the spring with the needle nose vise grips and lock them. Use your 11" needle nose pliers to reach through the traction loc carrier and squeeze the other half of the spring while pulling it into the carrier. When you reach through and grab the other half of the spring, don't grab both outside edges of the spring because you can't fit the spring plus your pliers through the carrier. Grab the spring in the center and on one edge of the spring. It will be hard to compress by hand but the idea is only to get the spring started between the gears. Once you have done this use a hammer and a small block of wood to tap the spring into place. Put some gear oil onto the spring and it will slide into place much easier. Again it only took me about 15 minutes to do. Getting a second person to tap on the spring while you pull on it with the pliers to guide it into place will make it much easier. Rebuilding one of these traction lok units is not hard to do. As long as your gears are ok in the unit I'd just rebuild it, but if you need to replace the gears as well it might be more beneficial to just buy another traction loc unit.Also after I installed my traction loc and 410 gears I did not get any noises. Soak your friction plates over night like I did if you have to but once it is all done you should not get any noise. If you do hear anything, such as a popping sound like someone has reported I'd pull my cover off and inspect the unit for broken tabs or chipped ring gear teeth.
