To your original fuel line ?, this is the way I ran my lines, but my install is a bit different due to the manifold. Many ask why not hard lines all the way; makes install and removal a lot easier and I wanted to break the line for pressure gage. 3/8 AL racing line feed & return. Frame...

I used the gaskets in the rebuild kit. If the surfaces are clean and unmarred should be good to go, just like the factory Just a bit of tack on one side to hold in place,... but everyone has their opinion. I hate stuff oozing all over, gluing things together. Every mechanic has their pref.

Looks great. Glad to see it progressing. Is it getting cold there yet?

Like Spotcruiser said - 2X4 and a dead blow - brass drift if needed. Comes out pretty easy.

I don't stake until everything is installed on the rig; right before the drive shaft - just in case - Finally go mine in yesterday. I bought one of those scissor lift carts from HF to get the tranny/transfer off the bench and then used the engine lift. One thing that worked exceptionally well...

T-case. Piece of cake...

Truthfully, I'm not sure it really matters as long as the flange in against the seat on the CS (internal). The key, as I understand is that the roller unit is in the rear for axial stress and that the outer race is able to float for expansion/contraction of the CS. The front external snap ring...

It is installed but yes. It has an ext. ring. I removed it. I had no issues installing.

Well, the manual definitely shows the smaller ring to the outside, like you say. They're both KOYO, how do the numbers compare?

Well, we know the flanged side is in first, but your question is which side of the outer race. I still have my old CS bearing, I will check it tonight and I'm sure there are "witness" marks from the old install. I'll post pics if there are.

Truthfully. I've done about 3 or 4 manuals over my lifetime, not to count the clutch jobs and a couple of automatics and this H42 had to be one of the biggest pains. Simple in operation; just a pain in the...

OK. Talked to Georg at Cruiser Bros. If I understood right, the (big) external snap ring MUST be on the front BALL bearing. The front retainer housing "clamps" it in place and the rear bearing, which must be the roller, floats. My bearings from his kit were reversed as far as the external...

Still figuring out my countershaft. Georg at Cruiser Bros is out until tomorrow. I suspect the kit they sold me is updated and good for an H55 as well as the H42 (after reviewing the post I ref'd above). May not make any difference; I suspect key is that the ball bearings are in front and...

Yeah, got one with the transfer rebuild kit. Ones in the transmission rebuild must be duplicates.
