Thanks, it broke the screw head off but I'll still be able to get it off this way and that's all that counts.

I think it's smoother than any shaft driven 4wd I've tried, including the XB4. This is a thread for the original 22-4 though, so they are OEM ball diffs. It takes quite alot to remove the diffs. Not nearly as easy access as some of the other wheelers but I believe the driving quality is worth it.

Anyone try the new rear/side belt covers on the 1.0? It would make life easier for maintenance. Not sure if they are specific for gear diffs however.

To run those, you'll also have to update to the 2.0 front pivot, bumper, arms, and pin strap - FYI

Frank,

Any update on the kits being back in stock? Appears they were bumped another month.

We actually got in 100 over the past 2 weeks, and they've since all shipped out. More towards the end of this month.

My trick is to use a dremel with a cutting disk. I cut a slot in the screw head wide and deep enough to put a flat head screw driver in it, then work it out with the screw driver. I have never had any luck with screw extractors, they hate me and I hate them. But, the dremel and flat head screw driver trick works 95% of the time for me.

On a side note, I also reduce the size of my cutting disk to about 10mm in diamter so that the disk doesn't cut in to either the plastic or chassis I'm working around. To reduce the diameter of the cutting disk I use my bench grinder's stone wheel and turn the dremel on the gently run the disk against the rotating stone wheel. It will eat away the disk in an even fashion

So am I asking the question incorrectly? I admit I'm not really a regular here but thought this would be the place to find the answer. I have read a ton here and really appreciate all the info and knowledge shared here, but I can't find the answer. Just want to do it the right way this time.

Thanks Chr1s. I did find the mod details from you and that is a great link, thanks. I will buy the TLR231021 and hope this is still the best way to buy what I need. I actually really only need the little part that you cut off that holds the bearing in place that ya glue back in. Guess that was the original question was about the part number. Again, thank you.

I'm a little late to the party but I just picked one up for 180 shipped from Horizon! Hopefully I can't go wrong at that price!

Am I correct that the 22 3.0 rear hubs will fit? It has the cvd's on the rear.

I took the hubs off my 3.0 just to see if I need anything else and it looks like the 22-4 dogbone is way too short. What length would I need?
