I rebuilt a 12-bolt differential with brand new gears, bearings, and posi a number of years ago. I used an Auburn cone-clutch posi, and Richmond gears and bearing kit.

The most difficult part is measuring the pinion depth. It takes specialized measuring equipment. If you can figure out how to do that, you can do everything else.

I have 10K+ miles on mine and it is quiet.
