Bob, Thanks for the technical "tip" on how to remove the nut on the angle drive. I had picked up one of Houston's new angle drives, (nice looking part I must say) and was installing it this afternoon. Very easy removal, and reinstallation. Though had to disconnect the tie rod to get enough swing room though. Having read your post before my angle drive arrived I thought, I would be able to compress that ring and get it off. Boy was I wrong, after messing with it for almost 2 1/2 hours and two hand cuts later, I took the hacksaw to it and used the "VideoBob" method. Much easier, then just put the old nut and metal ring on, then good to go. I would have paid $20 more just to recieve an angle drive preinstalled with the nut. But I'll recommend the hacksaw method to anyone else I know who is changing an angle drive soon. Thanks for the "technical" tip there Bob. :) Joe O'Brien 2524 & 16634 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
