    Ran out of time, the diff cover was a pain to pull without the right socket. Had to use a cresent wrench, going back today for cables.

    good deal :thumbs2: from the north one on that cop car? I almost took those ones but I wasn't sure the bolt pattern for the backing plate was correct, but it was probably the way I was measuring it.
