Sorry Bill, are you saying you have drive flanges available?

Is this the correct front diff for a 1994 NAS 90?  I plan to go for the ATB.

For ordering, is my only option to order directly from Ashcroft?

Yes. That is the right one. I'm pretty sure ordering direct is the lowest cost option.

I was referring to the 52mm socket for removing the wheel bearing nuts 😁LR part # 606435

Definitely order direct.    If you have any questions call and ask for Dave , and he will answer all your questions and more.

I have a gently used rebuilt Ashcroft diff on its way from Edmonton.  (Thanks James!).  What is the RTV sealant mentioned in the video?  (Caulking in the screen shot below.) Are there gaskets?  When bolting things back together, where do I need thread locker and where do I need anti seize?  What else should I be thinking of?!

The factory method is a gasket. Some people prefer sealant.  There are pros and cons.

Thread locker needed locations are in the manual. Swivel to axle housing bolts and caliper mount bolts are the main ones.  Note both have 12 point heads.  Drive flange bolts are a good idea, as well, as the narrow drive flanges like to come loose.

My suggestion is to read the manual and avoid youtube...

Roger that.  Good advice.  My Workshop Manual is 1996-1998 (came with the old 110).  Flipping through it things look recognizable enough to be used for a 1994 NAS.
