Bob and Ken: Thanks for the flat rate sheet however I don't understand if you need to add these columns together to get a full differential only rebuild or if the R&R of the ring and pinion by itself covers the R&R of all the bearings too. Thanks, Mike Trader

I posted the sheet as I don't know which bearings or which axle style.

Typically, you'll use the labor time for the furthest point in as there would be overlapping time.
