Hello people I am back with another do-it-yourselfer,The 4:10 gears install in my 2005 GT
Let me tell you that this is not for the week do-it-yourselfer, I had to borrow exter tools from friends (I had to borrow a ½” drive air impact gun and some sockets and a torque wrench and a pulley puller) it took me about 9 hours over a period of 5 days working for about an hour and a half each day. It was not rocket science but you do NEED TO VERY THOROUGH AND DILLAGENT if you should choose to accept the mission…
Ok now on to the fun

Gather up the tools and stuff you will need, like a pair of jack stands, a floor jack, wrenches and sockets and a ½” drive impact with a 1 and 1/16 socket and a torque wrench (pic 1) now I drove the car up onto some blocks (pic 2) once on the blocks I used some 4x6s to block the front wheels form rolling while I jacked up the back of the car.
Then place a pice of wood on the floor jack then roll it under the differential to jack it up
(pic 3) and now jack up to your desired height. For me it was about 18 high (pic 4)
Now look up under the car just behind the mufflers (axel backs) and you will see the sub frame of the car (pic 5) that’s where you will put the jack stand at..
