Re: changing rear gears how hard is it

For my nickel, the Ford 9 is the easiest chunk to setup. There are several good tutorials availible on the net, just google Ford 9. (check out Pirate 4X4 .com) The first one I did took most of a day, now I do one in less than hour. The only tools required are a mag base dial indicator, a good dial caliper or 0 to 1 micrometer, a torque wrench, and common hand tools.

I built a bench fixture to hold the chunk, much easier than chasing it around the shop floor.

Both my race rig's use the 9, so I've accumulated a dozen or so chunks, from 2.46:1 to 5.12:1, 31 and 35 spline. Plug N' play at it's best. Good luck, Paul
