a 14 ff, ot went in pretty easy, with no surprises so that was a first, i just hope the big surprise doesnt happen when i drive it /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif, i have to finish shaving tha housing and it will be good to go. The only thing that was a pita was getting the ring bolts torqued, i had to go down the street and get a friend who was on the Marine Corps power lifting team to hold the diff, while i worked the wrench /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

no but it did look funny since i had Shawns instructions out, that 2 page explination sheet where you answered all of the "extra" questions and then the torque setting post flying around and taped to the walls /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[tRustyK5]

LOL...that would have been funny to see!/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
