That is a very nice one! Rolando

As far as springs, nothing to worry about on your gearbox. Just use the lever to back off the worm, then remove the 3 screws that hold the gearbox to the mount axis. That's it in a nutshell. Of course

Just give them a call Ron, that is what I did when I needed the grease kit. You can even talk to one of their experts to get you started on the right track. -- Dean

Looking on the AP website - I can't find the grease kit. = ( SEARCH for not reveal it when searching Grease. IT's a HUGE tube on amazon for 22. I suspect we'd use 1/10 of that in a life
