Looking good Grippy. There are several short cuts one could do but your way gets everything completely out of the way. Nice pics and well documented. Should help out a lot of first timers.

Fortunatly for me I work for a dealer and have direct access to that kind of kit and I can tell you that it's well worth it.

I'm an x-dealer man myself, and I can vouch for the kit as well. The alignment tools are awesome as far as preventing future leaks.

Where did you order it from? I did a yahoo search and only found an ebay sale and then went on google and found their home site but you have to email them I guess to get any info on what all is included.

Wanna sells yours after you are through with it?

I held a wrench on the inner hex, and turned the outer hex with a ratchet, there was no need to hold the pulley, the counter motion stabilizes everything.

I bid for the kit on ebay. It's new (which was nice), seller has 100% positive feedback (which I require). I'm just going to add it to my tool inventory, I have no intentions to sell it, but you never know
