Don't know if it'll help anyone out or not, but I figured I'd post it.

Thanks for doing the video Sean. Wish you had a camera stand & could of shown the actual disassembly & assembly, but GOOD Job. What gray sealant did you use?

I used Permatex Ultra Grey.
Also, as far as the dis assembly. It's really quite simple. There are a few snap rings and that's it. If people take on this job, I would recommend you go out and buy Lisle heavy duty snap ring pliers. They'll make your life a lot easier and really make the job easier.
