I have to pull the pumpkin on the cobra. What speciality tools are needed to drop it out? Also if anyone with experience wants to help I would greatly appreciate it. I know Im kinda far and will be willing to cover expenses to get to and from me in jersey.

relatively easy. you will need a 36mm socket. it removes the nut for the half shafts off the spindle. other than that, typlical hand tools. oh yeah, you need your lock key for your lugs. :thumbsup:

Feeding you would cost more than putting a solid in :poke: Stop at McDonalds on your way to my house

Well let me know when your available. I just picked up my DD 07 Focus SE so the cobra can sit under a blanket for a while.

why are you pulling the diff?

honestly, based on what is going on and some other things, I am not able to do anything till mid october based on going all the way up there. if you are just resealing it, bring it down here and we can do it on the 23rd after the MACA/EFA shootout.

The pumpkin has to be opened to find out if a spider gear or the ring is chipped. So it needs a rebuild. One trip down to MD and back was nerve racking enough. Last time I blew the teeth off the ring and destroyed the cover. I dont need to replace a $200 cover again. Unless I can get Wiseguy or someone else to meet us too and rebuild the pumpkin while Im there.
