I’m showing the installed clip compared to the uninstalled to allow you to see the tabs on the end of the C clip. Those tabs must not be visible. They should be buried in the slot.

C clip for the passengers side axle. I replaced both axles.

Clean the differential to cover mating surface. I used degreaser and a putty knife. Protect the gears by not allowing any debris to get into the differential.

Start by RTVing the cover and allowing it to skin over. Usually about 10 minutes, but follow the package instructions. Install the cover and bolts. (45 NM torque )
Attach the rear differential bushing to the cover.( 120 NM torque )
Attach the rear bushing to the trunk floor ( 25NM torque )
Install the Calipers on the wheel hubs using Loctite. ( 90NM torque)
Install the axle shaft to wheel hub bolts. (30NM torque 8mm bolt, 95 Nm 12mm bolt)
Install wheels and torque to 110NM.

After your RTV has cured (12-24 hours ) you can install your differential oil ( 1 liter of oil ) and your fill plug ( 50 NM torque). Consider using anti seize paste on the threads for future oil changes.
