Some links to a few sources of reference...

1.) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/187715-differential-removal.html#post1564553

2.) 915 Diff Assembly

3.) Axle Flange Bolt Torque For an SC

4.) Broken Axle Bolt/Tranny Question

5.) Broken Transmission, any Ideas?

6.) Differential Removal

From Grady Clay:
Some other tricks:
On the axle flange seals, in addition to sealing them in place, I add three little loops of safety wire to prevent the seal from coming out.
Inside the differential housing I made an aluminum piece that locates the input shaft and prevents damage to the input shaft seal. In the shop you should always install the seal after the input shaft is in place. At the track you just want to be able to plug the gears in and not have to deal with the seal.
I have two large Alnico magnets to collect any steel parts. If there is a failure, you don’t want hardened steel circulating through the transmission.

Borrowing this info from indigowhale's tranny rebuild thread...

on with a piece of wood, 2 wacks with hammer as you can see...



and it almost went too far in. This is the old seal and new one installed.
