How to install a hardened output shaft:
Remove Rear carrier
remove 12 bolts to remove cover
remove 2 allen bolts holding stud plate
remove center diff assembly
Unbolt 8 surrounding bolts on diff
seperate diff housing
remove C-clip
remove gear
remove clutches
install new shaft....its that easy in fact its VERY easy.

My car is about 80 miles away in the garage of my mechanic, waiting for the 422 to come.

I will go skiing with my kids tomorrow and come back Friday next week.


So......no install, yet. :lol:

Always a mod I wanted to do.Now that I am going to buy wheels slicks and skinnies it seems it would be a good compliment to the twin turbo C5R LPE car.I have them in the shop its just that I'm real impressed with the stock drivetrain and I put down GOBS of TQE at the wheels and I'm not scared to use my boost controller and the 104 race gas.
If I replace it I will never know what it takes to bust it which is actually very valuble to the whole community.Of course if I just bolt on the slicks it will be flatbedded home.Good Luck on the install there not that tough.Dave S.
