Quafie/DEFIX/DSS/SPEC instal pics

Here are some pictures from my install this past weekend. I had to do the tranny removal a second time last night because the SPEC TO bearing wouldn't let the clutch fully engage. So I had to put the stock TO bearing back in.

I also put a Walbro 450 in, but no pics of that.

The PP after 20 miles of driving with the SPEC TO bearing.





Stock vs SPEC TO bearings


Putting the pilot bearing shaft in the SPEC FW





Tons of "loc-tite" on the DS made it a PITA to get off



Long ass extension to get the top bolts out of the tranny













Heating the stock FW to facilitate pilot shaft removal

The axles took me a day and a half to remove. Rubber mallet + extension = fail. Metal hammer + extension = fail. Autozone removal tool = damges lug threads. 12 lb sledgehammer + socket + hub nut + 100 swings = success.





Finally able to remove the rear intake tube with the tranny removed (no need with ST)








Custom bolt + nut welded to remove diff drain.

You can see the outline of the socket from smashing the axles out. I was going to sell the old axles... not anymore.

The socket and hub nut (hub nut held the socket in place)
