You do have a fairly wide contact area there. #1 check for debris.


Thanks Robert!!
I don't plan on swapping it out anytime soon - but, you know how the best laid plans go....
If I ever go to experimenting with gear ratios, I will definitely try a good gasket and grease.
I made sure both surfaces were hermetically clean before the thin bead of TRS.
My memory reminded me to torque the nuts to 45 ft. pds---sound right?

iirc 45 yes. & hermetically clean is even more cleaner than surgically clean right! (no oxygen present?).

If you are going to the drags 70/30 with an 8.75 then it will be apart again.

This is true. I had to go back in and remove the whatever pin within the suregrip to use green bearings. I believe breaking the seal on the 3rd involved hydraulics.

That being said, I don't really need to get into the 3rd member on a remotely regular basis.

Should have just removed the green bearings and left the 3rd member in there.

If you need to keep removing the pumpkin, you have more troubles than trying to get silicone off the housing.

Anybody could have problems, but somebody else may want to change gear ratios.

Wilwood brakes require them.
