Guibo and CSD are among the easier driveline wear items to replace. CSB is a little more intricate, as you have to remove all the heat shielding, but as far as removal goes; it took me 10 minutes to get the old one off and hammer the new one on

[YosemiteSam]

Ok, that's good. I hadn't actually thought of the guibo, that could be my problem as well. I'll check them both out tomorow.

It smells like ass in here

Sorry that would be me...

Just a forewarning

Total project time varies from 1-2 hours.
Usually you'd need to take the exhaust off at the headers, but most people get away with just dropping the muffler

And.. Yeah. That's it; it's pretty straightforward

Isn't this the 5500 one that Steven wanted to buy? She sounds like she's full of shit but I must say that no convertible trunk shocks work when it's cold out :(.

[Albuquerque30]

^^Mine works just fine. Even in subzero temps. Booyah!

[Thizzelle]

mine works too what what

she was in her mid 20's and was full of it. Looked like she never did any maintenance on it, she didn't even wash the car before I saw it. I think she is just sad to think she might have to lose money on it, was kinda dumb to get a new top on it then sell it a few months later as she knew she was leaving because her fiance lives somewhere else. Don't know how that works.

[kronus]
