Ok Ken, what I am wondering is, I am having someone ship me a torque tube with ofcourse the center section still attached. Inside is an all set up Patricks 3.55 conversion. Patrick says just drop the whole assembly in place of mine and leave the rear axle assembly in place.
My question is, when the torque tube and center section are removed from the axle assembly by way of taking off the circle of nuts, does any of the gears stick out past the flange of the center section? I was wondering if I could ask the shipper to just screw a piece of plywood over the opening to keep things inside clean and protected. A picture of this area would be great.
