I took care of it with a diamond grinding bit for a dremmel, I think its part 7105 in the dremmel catalog, $10.99 from ACE. Everything comes from Ace cause they are close by.

Everything about this project has been harder than I thought it would be. I do have it all done but the wiring now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Most of today was spent removing my front axle and installing one with 4.30 gears to match my new rear. That was hard!! I did it totally alone using 2 bottle jacks, a floor jack, and my hand tools. The breaker bar has been very busy the past few days. I broke my 17mm box end wrench and one ratchet, both were Craftsman so now I have 2 nice shiney new ones. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> (again)

The first drive was interesting. I have big time wheel hop as expected so I made the widest turns I possibly could. There were no leaks on either end. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> again. I haven't taken it offroad yet. I won't have time for that for a few days. I have 3 frames of empty film saved for the switches and indicators shots, when I'm finished i'll have around 27 pics of the process start to finish.

I never would have even known about electric lockers if I hadn't found this forum. I'd still be totally stock. Now I find myself adding stuff to my truck on a regular basis including what I consider the 'Mother of All Mods.'
