Agreed. Not the worst job, by far. The PHH was much worse for me.

Doing this today thanks to you guys. So how are you guys cutting the old ones open for a look without self-immolation? Saws-all seems like a bad idea, as does a dremel or a die grinder. Tx
I believe the one I changed last summer on my cruiser had some sort of date listed on it. IIRC it was from 2007 but it didn't look nearly as bad as the pictured one in this threadAnd another thing goes on the list of items to do.
Truth be told I have no idea if mine is original or not (somewhere between 280k and 300k I'd guess, none of the POs had ever recalibrated the odometer for the 35s, nor do I have record of how long it's been on 35s).
I know it hasn't been changed in the 30ish k miles I've put on it. Would have to check POs records but maybe it was done.
Are they date stamped at all in a location you can see without removing it? Cruiser and I are in diff locations at the moment or I'd look for myself.
What's the worst that happens running and old one? Just reduction in mileage or does the gunked up old one end up letting the gunk intp places it shouldn't be?
Thats exactly why I cut it: Curiosity. Hacksaw, anything else will cause sparks and well...Why cut it open?
The old one will be dirty, new one will be clean.
Not knocking anyone, but un-sure what is gained by cutting them open other than satisfying curiosity.
replaced mine..took about 15 mins. under the car...not sure why anyone would put off replacing???
That's on my list for sometime this winter. I've had one sitting in the box for like 3 years now...15 minutes?? Maybe after smoking that funny tobacco and getting into
the time-warp thing they talk about .
