Nobody wants to help?!?!?

Try doing a few frame-up restorations on the AMC Jeep line and I'm sure that you'll come to understand my aversion to Torx hardware.

Don't hold back, let us know how you really feel. Dean you are being rather vague.



I think all of this advice is sage. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

I'm much too shy and sensitive for all of that.

I doubt that it's that no one wants to help. I would if I were able, but you've picked a bad time of the year. Most everyone is busy with holiday stuff.
If your car is more than a couple of years old, I would avoid the aggravation and pay the shop to do it. As JC and others have pointed out, those Allen bolts are going to be a pain and the DIY approach could end up costing you nearly as much as having the work done.

You're already going to be dealing w/ a shop to get the gears set (I hope) so if it was me, i'd just pay them to swap the diff too. They can do it on a lift in about 20 minutes. You can do it on your back in 2-48 hours

^^ also it's hard to help someone when you don't know what tools they have access to and the area your going to be working in.

ie: garage? flat driveway? hilly driveway? apartment parking lot? wal-mart parking lot? tools? BYOT? (bring your own tools) jackstands? OEM jack or a serious jack? open bar or BYOB?

That's the most important unknown question we all have.

Well, I've decided to take my own advice and have the shop do mine and a valve adjustment at the same time. That is if a certain someone down in Tampa will answer his email.

Im going to get it installed at first class tomorrow.
