winter project

[Eric G]

I can't believe that I missed this entire thread! Great write up and excellent pictures. I have to say one of the funniest parts was your fact of being nervous about the install of the IMS bearing! I remember having Robin in the garage and through the whole process, I kept telling her, if this fails the whole project was a wash! Nothing more satisfying on seeing it back in place and the clean cover plate buttoned up!

A really nice write up again.

Thanks Meir!

You have done more than inspire me to do it myself!

Great write up, excellent pictures, great timing.

I have the Bentley Manual, LN Engineering instructions, Pelican instructions, & the "Meir Manual"…do I need anything else?

Getting started this week. As soon as Pelican delivers.

Thanks again for the confidence.

Hi Mark.
don't use the pelican instructions. it is more confusing then helping (in my case at least). follow the LN instructions step by step, and you will be fine.
use the Bentley manual to get the torque values, and writ it down.
it will save you a lot of time during assembly (you will not have to go to the book every minute). in fact, here is a link to the table i made.

just get a good pair of latex underwear, to keep everything is place while assembling the bearing. JD sales them for 10$ on his website, but they only come in speed yellow

thanks ERIC.
couldn't describe it better myself.
thanks for the inspiration by the way.
i remember showing your original thread to my wife. when Robin tells you she don't like to see you working under the car with the jack stands.
guess what, it got me a scissor lift
so, thank you Robin.
