Quaife installation

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
Replied by facade on topic Quaife installation
A Quaife is the whole differential, you just fit the original crownwheel to it, so all you need do is set the backlash and preload, which is fairly easy (if time consuming), the pinion remains untouched. The gears have already worn as a pair so there is no need to try and adjust contact patterns by playing with pinion depth, which is where the real skill lies.
The only reason it "wouldn't last 5 minutes" is if the preload is way out (or the bearings were made of chocolate or something)
