Yer there are a few tricks, i got my bearings from a place in SA, not sure now where it was 3 years ago, They supplied all bearings and seals. There are three dog clips under one of the slip rings(?) still not sure what 1 until i open it up again, ne way if you break one you will have to impost 1 from JAP, and holden and nissan australia dont stock em. It cost me $960 to rebuild it with the over sized main bearings and standard everywhere else!
