good idea Colin..but I have fixed seats and when I happen to fall into the back and get stuck…last thing I want is my kids posting videos of it…last time I was back there was almost a permanent resting place for me…dont think I will be going there again – rough on me! hahahah, on a serious note it’s a good idea, I will consider it. Been thinking of pulling my coupler and doing a 2 year condition check, still feels like the day I put it in, but I would like to collect some data

Hi Ed, thanks for this. It would be really great to have a video of how to install it into the car – I’m sure a lot of people would be really interested in this! Thanks, Colin

I wanted to add a couple helpful hints to this video….As anyone who has tackled the rear wheel bearing knows…a freezer is your friend. I have been putting the bushings in the freezer and heating the aluminum parts under a light bulb (warm, NOT HOT) and the install is absolutely as east as pie….no effort at all
second: the two “checks” where the center section moves freely @ 4:10 (without the pin) and the pin rotates freely@ 5:53 (not fully installed…in both sides)

Ed Mitchell says:

are critical checks to make sure in the end you have a smooth coupler joint – If those two checks are missed it is possible that due to a condition of burrs in the aluminum housing or a mushroomed pin, that in the end your coupler will be jammed tight (not desirable) – please make sure to check those before final assembly
