yea, just FYI if you get some rear wheel bearings from KOYO, make sure you get the right lock rings:

when i hear lock rings i think of these:

do you mean the retainer collars maybe? those usually come with the bearings as a kit.

anyway.

Maybe youre talking about the retainer rings? These things are FIERCE. According to the FSM you HAVE to heat the retaining rings UP to 300F then you have to PRESS them on. Remember, the retaining ring is the ONLY thing holding your axles from popping out of the axle housing. VERY IMPORTANT!!

retainers, collars, locks, rings, they all do the same job.

mex: saw your post on the NST dyno day...not sure if you go to dallasimports.net at all, but they're having a get together next week and someone is bringing out a dyno. I think im gonna run my 20v BT and see how it does: http://www.dallasimports.net/forums/ind ... pic=127125

Funny.... he traded his motorcycle and cash for that coupe. It is a nice corolla though.
