I'm assembling a 3s/4s BLX differential. I assembled one previously with minor issue. It locked up at first, but after reassembling, spun properly and I've been running it without issue. I don't know what I did or didn't do right to get it to work.
I ordered the parts for a backup differential. All parts are new. I put in all the gears, o-rings, shims, bearing, and everything spins properly, I add oil it still spins properly, when I put the cap (and gasket) on, it gets locked up. I believe I'm lining up the cap correctly. There's really only one way it will fit all the way down.
I watched a few videos and one mentions that you have to put in the gears in a certain order. Unfortunately that video then proceeds not to show this order. All videos I've found are skipping these steps, they go from empty differential to all gears in and time to fill with oil.
Is there a particular order I should assemble the gears? Could there be another reason the differential is locking up when I try to put the cap on?
