Just make sure you mark the ends before unbolting the spindle ends or else you through the shaft out of balance.
Boy have you got that right. Doing that freaking ring without the correct size snap ring plier...

Can a early model TT be updated to the later model with larger bolts with the kit and maybe a few extra parts??

Looks like you did a pretty trick n2o install. Please consider adding your car and pictures to the link below. It's a collection of Vettes with spray, and I plan on doing a portfolio with selected rides, to add to my web site, (so guys can get some insight). Thanks

Nice product!!!

We have these kits in stock and will be shipping out right after the first of the year.

$375.00 for a complete kit with either 10mm or 12mm couplers


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!!

You'll need a bearing press, that can be bought at Harbor Freight. I considered doing that, but the press would sit mostly unused. I just removed the couplers, created some simple instructions and went to NAPA. It was done right for less than $100 shop labor. Here's a link for late model auto style.

Stupid question but are these the poly couplers, or just plain rubber ones? I am looking to do bearing and all with the poly couplers, Is this just for the plain rubber ones?
