It's much better to cuss in a controlled environment. I can't imagine what a PITA that would have been as a field repair.

Cuss or break stuff, that’s the choice I give Mrs. C when she gets on me about it. When I get on a tear with a home remodeling project, Mrs. C always says she’ll never ask me to do another project. She lies. She’s expecting me to use vacation time to replace a thousand square foot of hardwood flooring this year. Because she’s tired of it. I seriously have other plans.

If it had been a field repair, Weld, I’d have found a shop.

E-Thanks for the offer. I wrapped it at noon today. I just ran it through the gears on the center stand, with a jack stand under the side car. No funny noises except for when the Russian version of “true” wheels get up to speed. Shifts into 2wd better than ever. Reverse works, too. And, I had no parts left over.
I’m too beat up to take it for a spin. I’d have to move two cars, the Honda, and Solexes, along with shoveling the April 15th snowfall and my back is saying “Nope”.

That was my take-away from your post; I feel your pain. I fail to understand change for the sake of change.
