Install in the reverse order of removal while noting the following:

-- Before guiding together the bevel box and the transmission insert the "new" upper bolts -arrows- in the bevel box.

-- Install the bevel box with the new bolts inserted on top all the way on the top at the same time guide together the drive axle splines/bevel box with drive axle splines centered.

Tip:

If the tooth position is incorrect the bevel box cannot be pressed against the transmission. To do so turn the flange shaft.
If the tooth position is correct and it is guided centered, the bevel box slides against the transmission all the way.

The accessibility of the upper bolts on the transmission is narrow on some engine types.
