The biggest pain is getting off the large snap ring at the end and then getting it back in.

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...

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

I switched to a Z06 TT on my 98, and run one aluminum in the back and the rubber up front. It's worked pretty well for me so far. When I had the the original/10mm style, I went through the rubber couplers very quick!


Nice product!!!:thumbs:

We now have available for sale, corvette C5 torque tube rebuild kits. These kits consist of all three bearings the o-ring and two rubber couplers of correct size. The bearings are new high speed bearings that exceed OEM specifications. When doing the research for these kits we did find cheaper bearings but they were not to the quality standards that we wanted them to be.

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!!! :flag:

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. :thumbs:

02402ramair 12-14-2011 03:45 PM

Wow thats a while back. I went 9.80 on a 100 shot with that motor and a 6 spd. Best running combo I've had. It sure was simple then. Man I mis that motor!

C5sleeper 12-14-2011 07:45 PM

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?

blown81bu 05-31-2014 12:44 PM
