You won't screw up the gear install ! If you have a nice contact patch and the proper preload it will be perfect. Just take your time.:-)
BTW, I really like the item you used for reference to show the thickness of the header flange. That was very Canadian of you !!  |
At the time I was buying I did not fully understand the thick gears and their reasoning, and of course no shop is going to want to sell you less. Lol, once I got it in my head that it would be pretty cool to have the tru-trac carrier up front I was not looking for reasons to keep my old carrier.

Yes, I was looking for something that would be easiest for most fellas to referemce. I guess it would make sense since I am of French Canadian decent!
