Had my diff refurbished and hoping to get it back on as soon as poss but one slight issue. I had to have a new diff input flange when it was refurbed as the courier dropped the diff, bending the flange quite a lot.
I marked the old one up with the prop before I took it off for alignment but obviously now I dont have any markings. Will it be ok to just bolt them up in any position? There are only four bolts so not many options anyway.

Thanks.

I worried about as I could mount the prop 4 ways. in the end I mounted it, and while the car was running in gear with car in the air i just eyed it up to make sure it wasnt way out of balance and lightly put my hand around whil spinning it to make sure there was no big wobbles.

Pretty sure the prop will only go on one of 2 ways e.g 180° out due to hoe alignment.

The prop is a separate balanced entity on it's own so alignment with the diff flange is not important.

Just make sure you give the prop flange a good clean ensuring no lumps on the mating face.
