hey guys, how difficult is it for the do-it yourselfer to safety wire the ring gear bolts, and replace side cover gaskets on a ZF ? (special tools etc.) i have mine out for detailing, so i dropped the pan to check for safety wire and found that it wasnt done, the gear oil looked like new, and zero metal fragments in pan (THANK GOD !!!) Smiler.......THANX .......DAVE

Pretty easy actually but takes a little practice to get them looking right.
You'll need a set of ring gear bolts that have the holes drilled out in the heads. You can set a set from several of the vendors. Ir will also come with the wire needed.
The idea behind safety wiringf is that no bolts come loose. If one starts to, it causes the one it's tied to to tighten, this stopping the other one from loosening and vise versa.
