Eaton Locking diffs are not repairable, you need a replacement unit, consider some of the better A/M locking or posi units.

Are you kidding, I said it is not repairable, Eaton does not make individual parts for the unit!!!!!!

Maxwedge is right, there is nothing serviceable in the governor and taking it apart will do you no good, once the GM gov-loc goes bad it's throwaway. GM sells them as an assembly, as well as other aftermarket companys that buy direct from dana/spicer corp.

Ok 1st im sorry for the confusion .Im not trying to take it apart i just want it out the whole carrier.I took out the retaing bolt that holds the pin between the axels thats out np the pin fell right out.Now i cant find the tool to get the carrier apart to remove it from the rearend. I can't get the gov-lock apart to get to the spide gears, to get to the c-clips,to pull the axels out of the carrier. there is a special tool that presses 2 pins out so im told i can't find any info @ all on it i just want this carrier out of my rearend thats all ..... sorry again for any confusion ...... ps help me get this carrier out.

Where I work now I frequently use Dana's website to order parts and print complete service manuals for Heavy duty on highway transmissions and differentials I noticed they do have a section for light duty applications with diagrams and literature. Hopefully if no one answers this link will help you.

I personally have never messed with a differential as its a bit over my head, and I never have had the tools needed to properly set one up anyway.
