Dukie Thanks for that detail on NSS pictures and highlighted boxes. Sort of reminds me of the Arlo Guthrie song "Alice's Restaurant" with the pictures and arrows. Job well done! Now all I gotta do is get under mine Mine is only the reverse lights everything else is working.
No, I don't lick fish.
Anyone know for sure the size of the nut that's welded to the frame that the shackle bolt attaches to? Stupid welds broke loose and the nut is not the same size as the head... I have cut plenty of access to it, but I don't seem to have the right size wrench or socket and I don't want to go spending money on one without know what size to get

Someone else's idea, but you can take one of those foam pool noodle things, trim it down, paint it black and jam it in that space inside the fender to stop most junk from gettin up in there.

you need to remove the cover to drain it correctly. Alternatively you could suck out the old fluid though the hole, but that's both difficult and incomplete. Plus while the cover is off you can inspect the gears for damage and wear.

i did this on mine. Works perfect - just jammed in in there and done.
