SO I HAVE AN 1986 TOYOTA PICKUP 4X4 WITH AN 8 INCH REAR END 2 PINION SET UP, IN THE PROCCESS OF THROWING 4.88s IN IT FROM THE FACTORY 4.10s GEAR RATIO, AND NOTICED THE OIL DEFLECTORS IN THE TUBE ARNT HELD IN BY THE TABS INSIDE THE DIFF TUBE, TRIED TO SEE IF I CAN SNAP THEM IN, BUT ITS LIKE THESE DEFLECTORS ARE TOO SHORT TO REACH THEM. HAS ANYONE ELSE RAN INTO THIS? IS THIS JUST HELD IN BY THE CARRIER BEING IN FRONT OF IT? LOOKED AT MY AXLES FOR ANY WEAR, PASSENGER SIDE DID HAVE A LINE ON IT BUT WIPED OFF WITH MY FINGER SO DIDNT GRIND INTO IT BUT MADE A CLEAN LINE AGAINST THE 35 YEAR OLD VARNISH, PUT 3 PICS OF ABOUT WHERE THE DEFLECTOR SITS, NOTICE HOW TO FINGERS ARE TOO SHORT TO REACH THE TABS ABOVE AND BELOW IT, ANYTHING HELPS, THANKS!
