You better check and see what you have. Take a look at the axles now under the Z. Mine are threaded. 2011.

Bolitas

Just thinking about this makes me hurt.

LOL, Mine were also. I bought 2 new stub axles to replace the threaded ones when I did my diff upgrade. Glad I did. The bolt through are the only ones that will work with the DSS Pro axles.

I don't have anything yet. The non-threaded version is less expensive. My understanding is you can just use nuts and bolts with it if you don't use the flange with threaded bolt holes. I'll probably just get the threaded version since that's what mine already has (it's a 2011 like yours).

Double check the stub axles for bolts. Get new carrier bearings and stub seals. It's best if you get the bearings pressed on to save on time. The shop that I used to use closed up because the owner past away. I used to be able to just walk in with small stuff. Now I have to wait anywhere from a couple of days to a month.

All done, and yeah as JCHammond said, simple process. Doctor was pleased with his work, said it was perfect and went very smoothly. My bone was still dense enough that he was able to leave the stud exposed so the next step is the addition of the crown.

Now I just have to remind myself not to chew on that side today (or at all this week).

Unsure about the OS-Giken unit; but the Wavetrac has 2-flats on both ends of it...about 14mm thick.
Can’t remember the size/ as i would buy an inexpensive wrench & grind it down thin to fit. Would make easier to hold while torquing ring gear bolts
