Today I installed the reduction housing. That new crane I built made installing this housing a breeze !
Without it, I would have had to use a "cherry picker" or had another person help me. That housing is heavy !

My hand is healing up after my thumb injection last Monday. That shot hurt !

Make sure you use guide bolts to align the housing. Plus they help to hold the gasket in place. No trying to move the gasket after the housing is on.


The housing has landed !

After all the bolts are installed, make sure you install the rear pump oil filter, using a new gasket.

As you can see, I've been using stainless steel "Serrated Flanged" bolts for all my external fasteners. At least where I can. They have a superior holding power over regular bolts and lockwashers.
