Talking Quick SYE question

It's been about 10 years since I've split my last case to do a SYE... What the time frame start to finish? Can't remember for the life of me how long it took me last time lol

If anyone has any input sweet!

Thanks!

Marty

Go to advance adapters and look for the sye for your tc. There's a video of how to install. Looks like it doesent take too long.

Haha it will jogg your brain a little bit atleast. I think as long as you don't hit any snags it wouldent take more than 2-3 hours. Minus letting the sealant dry.

For the love of god get a pair of good snap ring pliers. I just did my sye and this was my fail. I'd say 3hrs, 8hrs if you're like me and didn't have a good pair.

Thanks Digger, you're actually the second person to mention that to me. Have a feeling the pair I have won't cut it so am going to hit up sears tomorrow in hopes of finding a decent set
