I think most people that do it use JB weld... As far as what you would glue I don't really know.. Maybe just take it apart and glue the inside I guess...

Yea, I just use some regular instant ZAP tire glue works fine. You just glue the half diffs to the center gear. I've got 3 sets of locked diffs. JB weld is wayy to messy and takes forever to dry. tire glue works very well and only takes a couple minutes to fully cure.

Here try this thread.

Opp's, well it works really good. I used gorillia glue and it expaned so It simulates the balls. Well I dont think it matters.

I think I've seen someone stick a small pin or a screw through both diff halves, dunno how well that worked though.
