Cant get a normal size wrench or socket on especially the one behind the exhaust. There might be an easier way, but i don't know it. The porc directions are very vague if you ask me, I looked at two or three write ups online to help. Just be sure to take note of the oil pickup line you have to remove from the bottom of the pump and think ahead to get it hooked back up when it goes back together. You also need a metric bolt for the speed sensor. Don't ask me why its not supplied.

Heres some links to check out.

I have a JKS on mine and love it. Had a couple small issues after install, but I got them figured out pretty quick.

Couldn't get it to stop popping when I turned....even with it properly greased, torqued to their recommended setting, and the front axle centered within less than a quarter inch of dead center. Torqued it down some more and the popping went away and hasn't come back for well over a year now.
