I believe if you do not have 1/2 inch ratchet you can use a different one with required sockets ))

That's correct, whatever size driver you have should work as long as it's the right sized socket.

the hard part depends on if you get the bracket that Micro image can supply. the horseshoe clips on the OEM bracket are kind of a pain to get out, but once you get those out it only takes some time. if it was not for those clips it would have taken me less than an hour to install include removal of some parts that will be in the way.

Including those bastard clips took you how much?

Thanks

Golddeenoh · 04-23-2012, 10:29 PM

about an hour and a half over all, i spent 45 minutes just trying to get those clip out. they are way easier going back in. if you have a dent puller(slide or slam hammer) that works great if you can get it under the edge and pop it a few times.

Are you not? I'd think you'd easily be able to outrun anything with all those.

TOLMACH · 04-27-2012, 10:56 PM

heh-heh

^I ordered this this last Fri and received it today.. this is crazily fast for the price that I paid for shipment (Canada)

Golddeenoh · 04-27-2012, 11:06 PM

now for the fun part, getting to the tranny. :D

TOLMACH · 04-29-2012, 04:32 AM

Overall install time- 2 hours .. if I have to do it again would probably take me 30 minutes

To remove the horseshow clips just used big flat screwdriver (20 seconds to remove both)

TOLMACH · 04-29-2012, 04:34 AM

if anyone can see anything wrong with my installation (pic above), pls let me know

Congrats! And 20 seconds to remove those clips? Lucky! Mine took a bit longer, as they were really stuck on there.
