You doing gears or half-shafts?

i want to say 32mm, but someone else might want to verify.

 

[BreBar21]

It's 36mm.

Hey, actually 32mm rings a bell for some reason. I think that’s right.

I'm throwing in some 3.73s I have laying around. I am selling the car, and don't want to sell it with stock gearing.

 

[BreBar21]

It's 36mm.

+1 oke:

Also, if you're pulling the pumpkin, why not just leave the halfshaft attached to the knuckle?? Disconnect the knuckle from the UCA, LCA, and tierod and remove it as one piece.

Holy crap, I don’t remember it being that big. My memory sucks. :nonono:

I've never tried it like that. I've always done it the hard way. :cryying:

Real Cobra's have 4.56's.... :rockon:

Haha, just messing w/ ya man, sucks to see you sell it.

yea no kidding! i figured he was replacing the halfshafts or something. i did what you described above for pulling my pumpkin for gears. thanks for the correction on the size by the way.


why are you selling it sonic_4.6?

That is what I was going to suggest if I would have got here in time. Don't need any special pullers, or have to retorque the hell out of that nut. Took me more time to jack my car up than it did to pull the pumpkin doing it this way.

 

[BreBar21]

Yup. That's the way I've always done it too.
