Charts for Quick reference:

















1) put inner bearing in hub
2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle
3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier
4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier
5) push outter bearing into hub carrier

using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.



I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM).

Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter:

The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

I have read and checked build videos of the B6 and it seems like it dosent need any lube on the gears so i skip that since i dont have any diff lube at home now.

If you don't want to use the black grease there, I think shock oil will be better than nothing on the transmission gears.

get one of these and you'll be able to adjust the screw at an angle

Just dremel down the side rail, or buy a ball end driver. You'll have to do this regardless if you have lunsford screws or not.

It's frustrating to need special tools or modify original parts to get to motor screw.
Seems strange to me that AE didn't make a notch as part of the design.

Not really a special tool... More so a basic version...

Surely you're not suggesting he use the wrench that comes IN THE KIT? That would be too simple of a solution.

I've noticed some of the factory drivers are putting a 1 mm shim between the front bulkhead and chassis. What effect does this have on the car, and why are they doing it?

This is why AE buggies are awesome. So much aftermarket support.

Anybody find a replacement for the upper shock bushings? Would like to find something tighter and longer lasting than the factory part.

I think either Avid or M2C make delrin bushings.

I'm following a setup sheet and for the rear hub spacing it says 'forward' does that mean the hub forward and shims to the back or shims to the front (forward).

I'm guessing it's hub forward, shims to the back..shorter wheel base. It's the Ray Munday NSW State sheet
