<VV> Whats you opinion on my pinion

[James Davis]

I know Bob Galli and I have changed out a ring gear and pinion on the road 
side without dropping the engine.  I was only 1,200 miles from home.  Bob 
was much close only 900 miles from home.  When Bob did it, it was 31 
degrees and snowing; conversely, I had a nice 70 degree, sunny day.  Some 
days having the right spares if a good thing for the rest there is FedEx 
overnight.
