is it a Dana 35? If so you have a crush sleeve that complicates things a little but it's pretty easy.
If you over torque, or under torque, the pinion nut when putting it back together you can have some issues.
Let me know and I might be able to send you some info

good point almost all rears have crush sleaves that set the pressure on the pinion gears...if you crank down real hard you can mess up the setup so once the pinion nut stops don't keep yarding on it , it's a locking nut so it won't back off

dont forget our friend red locktite on that pinion nut. If re-using the original of course.
