john, I just got my vs back today from service and repair, I messed this process up. You have to allign the main gear right in the replacement process. I did this a few times and it worked, but 1 time and I messed it up. I reccomend to use the service wrench if you can get your hands on one. Do not over tighten it when putting the sideplate back on. If you mess this up and jam it, DONT TRY TO UNDO IT!! I was shown a method to get this fixed if you don't touch it.
Good luck,
Nick
P.S. Did you want me to email you?
I can only pm because the lotus email on my computer wont work.

Correct. I'm drawing a blank on the grease though, Lubri-Plate 130-AA white grease I think.
Self service kits and more service stations are coming soon... |

Well, for tonight it has a little synthetic Rear Axle Lubricant  . Perhaps I should put in a little Limited Slip Friction Modifier  ? |

Supposedly just a few weeks but for some reason everything takes longer in the fishing industry, I can't figure out why though... |
