There is a pivot shaft and two spider gears that connect the carrier to the axle gears. It sounds like someone has left the shaft and the spider gears out of the assembly. Is there a hole through the carrier that aligns with the space between the axle gears?

Somebody should be along soon with a link to a diagram of a rear end assembly showing the relationship of the parts- - - -I don't have one handy right now.

Edit: found a video!
