Yep, the lube lockers are great and make it easy to change oil and inspect gears.
I run a custom Spyder cover.

These are my Spyders!! Can't wait till they are on without a drip... After walking away from it last night... I need to take it off and apply a new bead of lube. I think I may have slid the cover around too much when installing it last night so I may not have sealed properly... Well obviously it didn't seal properly as the drip indicates...

Nope, can't tell ya! Lol.... Jk... I just taped off the black area and hit it with silver Rustoleum however I noticed it bled a little when the brake cleaner hit it so I had to touch it up.

Others may want to chime in on a better paint or process?

Powdercoated mine orange, then just sprayed some black enamel paint into the paint cap and used a very small paint brush to paint it.. Some spots were bad but can't notice..

Click image for larger version Name: CIMG1277-M.jpg Views: 142 Size: 84.8 KB ID: 486865got ours powdercoated black, sanded the Spyder. We used a 1" sponge brush to paint the spyder, a qtip dipped in thinner is the perfect size to clean the edges[HR][/HR]

Follow your instinct!
3.5 qts is WAY too much oil. A front 44 should only take 1.5 qts.

Lol, yes it was late and I was exhausted when I wrote that... Meant the rear.

Finished it all up today with 3 qts in the rear and 2 in the front.

Anyone running a rear one with a Teraflex rear trackbar relocation bracket? Does it prevent the rear trackbar from hitting?
