Prepping for doing my Torque Tube this weekend
Ordered Tick Performance C7 bearing kit and two rubber couplers, because it said if you want to do a billet for automatic to call them before placing the order. And so I took it it was probably harsh on the transmission. So I just said that OEM was fine enough... Until it wasn't lol. I am getting the burning rubber smell, so I'm pretty certain one or both of my couplers are gone. I also got the bolt set as I wasn't sure if those are torque to yield and I didn't want to take the chance.
I'm not looking forward to this after seeing all the threads of people doing it and the big thread that person created a huge walkthrough in pictures, thank you whoever that was! Thankfully I have a four post left available to me to work. So I'm trying to get done in one or two days.
. Outside in the Phoenix heat, this is going to suck! I have gone through the post and have all the tools that I think I'm going to need. I'll be doing it at my uncle's house so I have to pack up all my stuff and tools to bring over lol.
If anybody who has done this has any pointers or tips they ran across, it'd be greatly appreciated to pass it along.

Yeah, been seeing the quotes people have posted about at 7-8K+. I am not doing that!! This car actually has lots of room to work! Except the AC expansion valve being on the firewall behind the engine and the low side AC port being behind the valve cover and exhaust manifold! Lol.
