Well, in that case, we don't really need that plug on the side of the tunnel after all.  |

I was looking tonight at my setup. My tunnel is still out of the car so I can really see it well. The e brake is nowhere near the front yoke. Greasing it with the tunnel out it is very easy, from underneath it is much hard but very doable

The non-serviceable u-joints are much stronger because they are not hollow. They are much better for use in high HP/TQ applications.

Got it, thanks! My car will be going away for the winter soon anyway so I'm in no rush, I was just curious.

When you install those, make sure that there is a constant rise from the caliper to the external bleeder. Otherwise, an air bubble in the line might never get expelled.

All the installations I have seen have been attached to the bottom of the cage. Might have to get a little creative if that is necessary.

I'm just being very conservative. If the hose inside diameter is small enough, the bubbles might be pushed through. I just wouldn't stake my reputation on it...

I'm not sure about that either. With speed bleeders or a pressure bleeder at the MC (no room on an ERA for that) it might get all the air out. I'll be curious to hear how it works out.
