Swapping Pumpkins question
I have a question about swapping out a d36 pumpkin.....simple correct?
Just unbolt the 3 u-joints attached to the unit
remove the 10 bolts from the back of the unit
and reverse for install right?
Won't need move or mess with the wing or suspension correct?
I picked up an extra pumpkin here and my 2.59 pig should be a bit quicker on 3.54's huh?

Drop the whole thing. Much easier, and it allows the gasket material to be installed easier and the fluid.
PS DONT USE MOBIL 1 synthetic. Twice mine leaked, and it was a apparent problem with a few others because of the Mobil 1Just use plain jane good quality gear oil too!

The batwing and pumpkin should come down, and swap the pig on the bench.
