You'll most likely need it to remove the rear flange bolts on the pinion. Just heat up the outer side of the flange near each bolt and apply brute strength to break them loose, one at a time. Be sure to center punch (or use a paint pen) both flanges near one bolt so you get it back in the same relationship. I think it's a 12mm 12pt socket that works best. I use an impact socket 3/8" drive. If you have a ball joint tool kit (big one) the C clamp is good for the joints. When putting new ones in, I like to "clock" the zerk fitting (if they have one) in the same plane both ends and be sure to install it with the zerk toward the shaft, not the flange.As for the speedo gear, that should be easy. The T5 just pulls out of the trans and then you un-clip the gear and put a new one on. I think there's a chart somewhere that'll get you close to what you need to match your speed. It may just get close. I did this on my Cobra when I built it, matching gear ratio. Now it has a TKO.Q? Why are you dropping the T5?</blockquote>
