Give you guys another tip. When removing the inner guts from the bushing. Use a 2" hole saw first. It will cut about 3/4 the way through. Makes removing the inner guts easier when trying to pull it out.

So the kit is ready to go out to the next member.

(4) new 1/2” Acme threaded rods and two new nuts.

Important tip: clean all the threads and then apply high pressure grease or ARP bolt lube to all the threads before wrenching on it.

First $13.65 to my paypal @ sg4247@cox.net gets it. Be in a priority mail med flat rate box. Friends and family please or add 4%.

I can ship it Monday 4/23.

Thanks SG. Looking forward to the project - sort of ;)

On the way to JLarson!

Better pump some iron to get in shape for this!

Let me know if you have any problems, as I have a handle on this now.

ALSO, I DID SOME CALCULATIONS ON THE PINION ANGLE, I INSTALLED THE THICK BUSHING FLANGR ON THE TOP, THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO FACTORY PINION ANGLE. The Whiteline instructions show the thick flange bushing on on the bottom of the ears. This cannot be correct.

The instructions for the Z1 kit show thick bushing at the top...

The SPL bushings are the same thickness. So you can't screw up.

Thats good news! As the instructions that came with the Whiteline bushing kit I bought from Summit Racing, showed the thick bushing going on the bottom.

Glad I checked, otherwise Id be swaping them around.

Apparently, you may have diff noise if the elephant ear bushings are installed incorectly.

Hey guys, anyone using the tool? I need it as soon as possible. I have my diff out already its just sitting in my garage.

I shipped it to JLarson...

Hopefully he is making progress!

Alright thank you. yes hopefully he is, I have to use my brothers car while my diff is out.

Jlarson has been dawdling. I'm not going to be able to get mine done this week (zdayz) so I'll ship it to you, ThatOneZ34. Pming you to arrange.

Awesome thank you!

I need the tool for this weekend. In the Austin, TX area . . . this is a great thread!!

Damn, I just bought the tool cause I couldn’t find this thread again. Thought maybe it was dead.

Also I’m going with the z1 poly and good to see they are putting the thick bushing on top which seems to stop the gear whine, I was not looking forward to that.
