Assuming you have a moser 12 bolt with C-clip eliminators, the axles are held in by the caliper mounting plate that is bolted into the axle housing. the pressed-on bearing holds against the caliper plate.

Ujoint is a NAPA 447x

pinion angle should be set ok if you install it, but if you have drag tires and stuff, then I don't know.

here's a pretty good install manual:

like I already told ya try 85w140 while breaking it in for a few hundred miles and then switch to 75w90 the rest of the way. Pinion angle at -1 for the street, and -3 degrees for the track....the more negative the angle on the street the quicker you'll wear down your drivetrain.
