Re: Heat Shield Removal
When I torque my 5.5 I loosen a 1/4 turn one at a time and torque to the correct amount following the sequence. If it was me I would drain a gallon out and pour it back when finished.

Re: Mitchell Overdrive
Steve mentioned to me on oil change in his overdrive and syncro transmission to use 25% STP. I have not changed oil yet but will try it when the time comes.

Re: Mitchell O.D.
Thanks Tom. I really did not want to mess with the spring. I was leaving it installed with a spreader when I do the od. I will see how it clears and if needed modify the floor. Great thought.
Thanks

Re: Mitchell O.D.
Mitchell arrived Friday going in the Vicky. Contemplating adding a extra leaf in the spring pack for some dropped floor clearance. Any advice or ideas.
Thanks
PS
16 week wait on the Mitchell

Re: Rear Brake Assembly
I might be mistaken but I think the service brake lever will rotate past the high spot on the cam and point forward. You can then slip it thru and return brake lever back to position.
