    That was awesome. The only thing missing was Gumby and his pony pal Pokey.

    Very cool, but I agree, makes me even more scared of DIY. Way too many pieces to remember where they all go. Add the fact that it could take days to get back together and I am sure I would end up w a pile of parts!

    That's like the one for Subaru rear wheel bearings. Took the guy about 5 minutes in the video. Unfortunately in the real world it was a wee bit longer. Dealer gets about $300 per side if that's any indication of time involved.

    And I'm guessing Subaru wheel bearings are so somewhat less complex than a 901 box...

    Fun video by Joe!

    Unfortunately, in the real world, a 901 "rebuild" is a bit more complicated than that.

    If it were easy everyone would do it, eh? 2 minute videos are for entertainment purposes only. You cannot learn much from a rip and run time=lapse tear down.
