Some small things needed to be fixed on my tune and Ryne got it done for me. Car runs great now, I just need to do a rebuild on the rear end. Thank you Ryne.

I only trust Ryne with tuning my car, I have had nothing but great service from him and sometimes little Mikey lol. I still do my own work on other things but he knows what he is doing with these tunes.

You can rent those from autozone for free. I used their bearing puller when I built a 8.8 for my SVO and worked like a charm. I have a race driver if your going to replace the pinion bearings. and I have a dial-type inch lbs torque wrench to set the pinion bearing preload.

I was going to get a ling piece of steel bar stalk from home depot long enough to come from the other side of the axle you are working on and making a screw in piece that is small enough to fit in the axle tube and large enough to press against the bearing to hammer the sucker out lol.

I will draw a picture if needed but I see it in my head lol.

I can't wait to have my lt1 24x tuned by cms; the motor runs a lot better now even with just a blind base tune from Ryne.
