It's a safe bet that if you're reading Circle Track then you've had exposure to a quick change rearend, either seeing one at the track or actually racing one yourself.

Any packing material that came loose during shipping could cause a problem down the road. |  In goes the ring and spline...  In goes the ring and spline assembly. |  On goes the center section....
