What exactly are you trying to do?

Good advice. Got the caps off, dropped the whole business out and tapped off the ring gear, which was the goal. Pulling this open diff from a donor 65 Newport. Plan on a new sure grip from Doc Diff. Trying to re-use ring gear and pinion. Cost savings plus i like the 3.23 ratio. Had never messed with a diff before so was following disassembly instructions and got stuck at that screw.
Now realize I dont even need to mess with the internals since I'm not reusing.
Assume i need to re-use the side adjusters and obviously the caps? Anything else? As usual, its all a learning experience for me so the advice, help, and answering what may be my dumb questions is much appreciated.
