[QUOTE="03SVTCOBRA10TH, post: 8376457, member: 11983"] Well as promised. First remove the dust covers. [ATTACH=full]1060202[/ATTACH] Then you need to remove the top of the extension for the ball joint. [ATTACH=full]1060203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1060204[/ATTACH] Then grind down the upper and lower crimps, to remove the ball joint and nylon spacer. [ATTACH=full]1060205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1060206[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1060207[/ATTACH] Pop out the spacer. [ATTACH=full]1060208[/ATTACH] This is what you should have, note the ball joint sleeve is not a striaght bore, and is curved to hold the nylon spacer, this will have to be bored out. [ATTACH=full]1060209[/ATTACH] This is what you should have prior to boring. [ATTACH=full]1060210[/ATTACH] And this after boring. The boring is a 2 step process, you must first bore the entire way through, and then ream. Then you must bore a larger size and ream, but this one is not all the way though, it makes a step for the bearing to sit on. Note that this one has not had the second boring process yet. [ATTACH=full]1060211[/ATTACH] Here it is back from powder coating, it has the step for the bearing to sit and also an internal snap ring groove. [ATTACH=full]1060212[/ATTACH] Here is how you make the snap ring groove, you can also see the internal step for the beaing to sit on a little better. [ATTACH=full]1060213[/ATTACH] You can see it fits well. [ATTACH=full]1060214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1060215[/ATTACH] And here is the final product. Let me know what you think!! The components are $275 becasue I bought in bulk. You will need to modify the stock retaining sleeves as shown above, or send them to me and I will do it for you but you must let me know PM me for details on having me do your maching. [ATTACH=full]1060216[/ATTACH] Or you can do the machining yourself, here are the demensions. The final demesions are: the first bore that goes all the way throughthe retainer sleeve 1.25", the second bore that goes from the top of the retainer sleeve to 0.70" down is 1.375", the snap ring grove is 0.94" from the top and is 0.044-0.046" wide, the bearing is 0.375" wide x 1.20" long with and ID of 5/8", the spacers are ID bore 1/2" and OD 5/8" x 7.52" long with a top to sholder lenght of 0.377".
