yup that sound about right it also matters on the tcase too 242 non disco axle 231 disco. Take off the shift fork housing on the pass side once you see it remember how it goes unless you want to it to be locked like the non-disco axle, there is a c clip on the gear, remove it and your shaft will slide out and out will come the carrier
