Thread: VC replacement is nigh!

Sorry for all the questions here, just wondering about the front output bearing, does that need to be packed with bearing grease, or does that sit on the inside and gets lubricated with atf in the transfer case? It's not very clear in the rave manual.
Don't mean to ask silly questions, better to know before I start pulling things apart!

Cross member, front mounting thingy, support rod from bell-housing to front of t/fer case.... Anything else needs to be removed ? (- Or is my Classic different again...)

How's your chain for wear ? - I'm told that P38s are hard on chains....but easy on the output shaft's splines. - Reverse of the Classic, despite being the same BW box.

Close-up pics of skinned knuckles would be a welcome change!
