Sorry for posting updates so frequently, but every little task I complete is usually the first time I've done it, from the clutch to the starter.
Anyway, got the accusump plumbed in with the -10 line. I found the bigger line and fittings actually go together easier than the smaller -6 stuff.
Also got the CV's greased and torqued down. Then took a shot at safety wiring. I think it looks OK but let me know if I messed up.
Everybody else is going stir crazy around here being couped up but I'm thrilled to have the time to wrench.

Need to wrap that safety wire under the top bolt. You need to keep tension on it. IMHO. the way it looks in the pic it will keep it from backing out but won't keep it tight. I used to do this in the military and when working for McDonnell/Douglas.
You kind of want the wire to make a backwards "S" where it is alwats pulling in the tighten direction. 22 Years of doing this on transport aircraft. Nice twisting job though. How many times did you stab yourself with this stuff?
Like this. Notice how tension on the wire pulls on each bolt clockwise.

What he said.
better?
Is there a trick for figuring how much wire to let out before twisting with the pliers? I keep coming up short or long.
Thanks for the help.
