Erik I've done a number of ring and pinion and case swaps over the years
and yes every manufacturer has a special tool.
No you don't need it. I just put a new Detroit Locker in my Six dif and
didn't have any problems. Just transfer the shims as installed on the
stock diff behind the carrier bearings. ( make darn sure you mark these
with a punch as to left and right). Start the assembly into the case
with the bearing cups on a slight angle and tap in with a brass or soft
face hammer.
Assuming you assembled it properly it should go in with a little
friendly persuation. Check your back lash and tooth pattern with grease
and check it against the manual.
