If you have never done gears I would suggest going to a shop to have them done. If done wrong toy can really mess them up. I'm not a pro with gears but you will need shims a well I believe. But the master install kit may come with that.

Another reason to get the master kit is the new bearings. Sometimes you can damage them trying to press the bearings off to reuse them.

Jags I completely agree with you. I would love a video that points at and explains each part.

For example when going up to a size 37 tire you have to cut the corner off of a part and I have no idea what that is.

Can you get on this ASAP. I'm going to be installing the gears in the gutted housing I purchased. Being that it is the front it is the best of the two to learn on. Once I have all the parts I shall continue reading and making sure I have all my ducks in a row.

Yes that would be it but I still don't know what it is.

It's where the body metal seams come together and form a harsh right angle just in front of the rear tire. To fit larger tires you need to trim that corner off or it will eat at your new tire. That's the extent of my knowledge/ability. LOL
