Just my 2 cents - If you are installing a Torq Locker on a Jeep JL it is more involved. Depending on your comfort level it might be a lot to take on.
  1. Remove Tires, Caliper, Rotor, Unit bearing, and Axle (no Need to remove the hub from the axle)
  2. Remove the FAD motor, c-clip, and slide the intermediate axle out several inches
  3. Drain, Open the Differential, before removing anything, mark the bearing caps side orientation
  4. Remove front carrier, careful to remember which side the shims and races go on
  5. Remove carrier pin
  6. Remove Spider gears and shims
  7. install torq locker per directions
  8. Put it all back together in reverse order
Remember to clean everything out with brake clean and use Loctite (the real stuff). There are a few videos on these items, but nothing detailed and specific for a torq locker on a jeep JL.

Good news is that if you can do this install, you are really close to being able to do your own gears!
Did it a few weeks ago. wasnt too bad. Thanks though!
