Dana 80 LSD re-stack

Does anyone have a link or write up on re-stacking or replacing the clutches in the Dana 80 limited slip? I can't seem to have any luck finding something.

Thanks

Do you have to mess with the ring and pinion and reset the "mesh" or is it pretty easy to do?

Fairly easy rebuild..... keep tabs of the carrier shims, mark the LSD case halves to each other and the cross pins, be sure to soak the discs in gear oil for at least 24 hrs. This proccess should not effect lash, unless it just wasn't right in the first place. Fill with Amsoil 140 and run it!

Whats the purpose of soaking the discs for that long?
