What prompted the dissassembly and what did you find? Common for the pinion nut to be loose. How do the teeth look? May need to remove wear step to simplify readjustment. if the bearings are unmarked it is an extravagance to replace. The pinion bearing must have minimal clearance. If an earlier pinion with a ball race prudent to replace. What state are axle tapers? The adjusters are a wonderful convenience. Most diffs have pressed in bearings and fixed shims; all fine with an assembly gauge but a nightmare without.Adjusters handed.
(It is common to shim used a/c races to just eliminate any play. But recent reprint of instructions for earlier diff stated that the pinion a/c outer rings shoud not be rigidly clamped. Dunno if anyone actually applies, or applies to later, but this would seem to not suit shims, as likely to wear )
