  • Professional Mechanic Help ARB install...

    Hey Guys,
    I received the ARB Locker and compressor and have started reading the directions. I do not have the measuring tools to do the job myself nor the confidence to move forward.

    I really want to learn how to install this locker and set the backlash, shims, preload, ect... I want to buy the right tools ie: the dial indicator, feeler gauges bearing puller, ect. but do not know the BEST place to get them : Snap-On, Mac- tools truck, Sears... FYI, Napa parts does not carry any of those tools, rent or sale.

    Any how, I am looking for a professional mechanic that has ARB locker install experience that would be willing to work for peanuts, beer, and lunch. Oh and a shake down run on the "Hairy Crack" trail.

    Best, Max7

                              Did I hear someone mention running the "Hairy Crack" Trail again?

                              Do I need to come over and supervise???
