Never heard of a 40 tooth large tooth.
Wouldnt hurt to know if this is a rux rear end, the answer would be different.

A 12 tooth pinion wont fit in a stock rear end with a stock 40 T ring gear. The 12T pinion gear is a larger diameter.
You would need a ring gear from a 13/39 or a 13/40 & shim the ring gear up about .090"
