That could work but the clearence would have to be checked. It might work but to be honest I haven't had my diff off in a year....but it also hasn't been leaking

Putting nuts on the back side of the long elocker studs might hit the locker fork. I know you have to lock the diff to remove and install it, otherwise the fork hits the housing. Maybe a thin nut might work?
I think putting nuts on the back side is a bad idea. Too much risk for one to come loose and then that $.10 nut would take out your entire diff. I wouldn't trust any thread locker or nylok nut. The only way I would trust it is if you weld it on.
My retrofit doesn't leak but I'm now wishing I had put some thread sealer on the studs. At the time I was doing my work I was thinking about using this kit: http://www.trail-gear.com/product/46...t#.WNkbKfnytpg
but changed my mind. Sean, do you think your seal went bad? Or that your studs stretched?
I know for sure it was leaking through the bottom elocker stud and 1 other standard stud. I'm guessing once I pulled them out to do the modification, they no longer sealed.
