I'm a bit tight on cash at the moment and my one-way has failed again! I'll get one of the 4 bearing ones in a little while but for now if I can get this one repaired that would be good.

yea I would like to know too....

You can replace the bearings, but getting a press to push the stock ones out would be the biggest problem I'd think. Then you gotta find someone who makes 1 way bearings to replace the stock ones with.

If any-ones has a spare going cheapish (pref red) of a spare diff drop me a PM.
yes you can change them but you have to be careful of the Gear reing when you press them out...
also you can make your own 4 bearing one way if you get all of the bearings out ....
BTW
the standard one way has 2 bearing and 4 bushings!! ..it's a real paint to get them out..just make sure you heat up the one way to get the bearings out( oven) and use a really slick lubricant......WD40 or Breakfree

Anyone know a good way to do rebuild the shocks using that bleed screw? I either put too much oil in, or I think I'm doing it right, but the shock does not rebound. Help me out guys!!! Thanks.

I personally am not a big fan of the 'Cuda shocks My advice is get some Yokomo shock caps and bladders.

Sorry not much help, if any-one has any better suggestions it would be nice to hear them.

BTW Dave, when you get home could you post the size of the one-way bearings?

well they are quite good.... you just need to over fill them from the top and then put a little bit of oil in the cap then gradually bleed from the screw untill you get the desired rebound you want...
