Default possible blown o-ring arb locker

i have air blowing out of my axle vent tube. so i am assuming an o-ring blew or the air line inside the diff blew out on my arb locker on the d30. can this be a diy fix for the o-rings. i am not familiar wth gear setups but shouldnt it be just take the locker out, replace o-rings or seals and slide back in?? since everything is already set with shims, pinion, etc... would i have to redo anything or can this be just in and out type fix?

any help appreciated

You can go to the arb website and pull up an explode view of the model # you have and look it over. Call their customer service dept. they are very helpfull. If you have some mechinal skills you can easily fix this yourself.

thanks man. took a look at the diagram, doesn't look too complicated. i was just worried about messing up backlash, etc... yes i am somewhat mechanically inclined, just never messed around with gears. will give it a shot probably next week.
