Hi Fifty150hs,

Couple questions for you.

1. The round hole (factory is 30 mm), did you ream it to 32 or 33 mm?

2. The wide part (the part that says 100 mm across), is it wide enough to accommodate the wide part of the CV Joint?

I may take my tool to a local machine shop to bore the round hole bigger for me...
