Yeah, I popped the lower arms with Honda's tool I bought for front end boot replacement. I didn't know why this had to be done until I realized I had to turn the disks out to get the axles out of the diff.

Yellow Box needs to be set 17.75% to get the speed right! Used e-trex gps. I think the stock speedo was over 1% too fast.

The price for installation was good, but I had to get the diff out and into the car myself.

Nice going, SR! What I have realized about the 4.77 is for me it seems perfect for fwy. If the traffic slows to 47 mph, 6th gear will still do the trick, no shifting needed, with nice cruising even at 77mph. Lower speed is much better in each gear, with more overall tractability.

I might get 220-240 mi out of this tank of gas, as I am about half way there.

I don't understand you guys. How the hell do you get so many miles out of a tank?

I've always gotten 170-190. ALWAYS!

I guess I have to attribute my lower gas milage to my wider/heavier wheels and a slightly higher rev in each gear driving around town.

I never really got crazy gas milage but usually got better than 200 to a tank.
