I ordered new bearings and seals for the axle ends so I thought I'd at least get the axle and differential mounted back in the car. First I mounted the empty tube axle to the springs, then I installed the diff carrier and lastly the cover. I didn't want to fill it with oil but decided to add just a quart in order to get the gears wet. After I dumped it in I tried to turn the drive shaft face plate over to get everything wet and it wouldn't move. I had installed the cover upside down and it was rubbing the cover. In order to make the flip I lost half the oil to the garage floor. Let this be a lesson to you, that cover only goes on one way!
