I did some videos today at 4pm. I was home and in the middle of loading those to prep for the forums, when I got a phone call from a friend of mine who couldn't use his Detroit Red wing tickets and wanted to know if I wanted them. Didn't take long for me to say HELLL YES. So I left the house at 6 pm with my son to meet his wife and get the tickets for the game. By the way they won 5 - 0. GREAT GAME.

So the videos might get loaded tomorrow.

AWESOME spending some quality time with your DAD. Yes, I agree the bottom bolts from the bottom and the top bolts from above.

And Thank - you for the compliment on the write-up.

Got any pic of the tools used?

Thank - you
Torque wrench. I knew we forgot something......Went by feel only. There is no room to get a torque wrench in there and tighten these bolts. Hell I had a tough enough time getting the tools I was using in there just to tighten them down. I have no leaks. I will be checking them again after 100 miles just to be sure too.
