Balancing Flywheel and Tool to Install Rear Main Seal?

Gentlemen,<br/><br/>As noted in my last post, I'm upgrading the flywheel in my 2.8 Turbo Diesel MU to a flywheel from a 3.1 Turbo Diesel. Where can I find the specs to have the new flywheel machined and balanced? (The data isn't available here in the USA.) Is the flywheel internally balanced or ...

Re: DIY: Remove the Mirrors on a 1991 MU

TurnTurn,<br/><br/>You, sir, are a hero. I am going to see if I can find those mirrors.<br/><br/>If you don't mind me asking, how are you accessing that Japanese parts catalog?<br/><br/>On a related note to the mirrors, someone ripped out the mast of my antenna from its base on the left fender of my ...

Re: DIY: Remove the Mirrors on a 1991 MU

On a related note, the mirrors on my MU are taller than they are wide. (Please see the attachment.) I assume this is because MUs from Japan were produced with different parts than those exported.<br/><br/><br/>I have only been able to find replacement mirrors that are wider than they are tall, such ...

Re: My 94 3.1L Turbo Diesel MU

That's a good looking MU!<br/><br/>Quick question: what's a straight through exahust system? Does that mean you removed the catalytic converter and the muffler, or does it mean you have a straight pipe without any bends going all the way to the back of the vehicle? Or is it just a straight-through ...
