Thanks again for all the great advice! All went well. The hydraulic tool worked great! Found corrosion on the disc links that necessitated replacement, but no other surprises.

Thanks HUGE for the SB reference! We have all the parts in-hand and are expecting the tool (hydraulic version) to arrive today. I'll pass-on how it all went next week. Oh and from the earlier post, we're in the Dothan area. Thanks again!

Thanks very much for the replies! Thinking I've done a pretty thorough search both here and in the Mx manual and can't find any info on accessing the top collar on the mains (or removing that sheet metal piece) and on the torque specs on all the hardware. Don't want to over-tighten the linkage bolts and put things in a bind. Thanks again!

Hello, Undertaking the retrofit on a '65 M-20E. Hoping some folks have done this before and have some hints/tips/tricks. Two questions I have are how to gain access to the main gear disc link top collars. They are inside a metal box structure with a sheet metal cap. Does this cap come off for the retrofit? Also, I can't find any gear torque specs in the Mx manual. Any guidance on torque or tightening specs for the gear hardware? Thanks very much in advance!
