[DML] Re: HELP: Angle Drive Installation





1.  1.25"

2. Take old one off. Put new one on. Keep it lubed.

3. It's in the manual, but the spindle nut is 165 ft-lb 
(alias "tighter than you can get it with an open end wrench". Since 
you can't get a torque wrench on the nut, you just go as tight as you 
can. Then hit it again. Locktite is a good idea. Caliper torques are 
lower (55F/40r), use loctite there too. 

4. Any of the DMC places. OEM pads are "dirty" but work best, 
aftermarket pads are cleaner - there are alternatives. In normal 
driving you won't notice the difference (unless you drive like 
VideoBob!).
