not really lol, one line is out of the box that goes to the front the other is rounded, one is slackened off that goes to the flex from the box, the other side is rounded lmao, and the one line accross the beam on ma spare has a rounded nut, the other that goes to the other box is rounded too but i dnt need that cuz im keepin the original box. So i was thinkin chop the beam pipe on both axles, keep the original box on, swap beams and join the 2 pipes together again.
one pipe lmao, one pipe stands in the way haha

Good lad for using the search function (Y) that's what we like to see.
I think they're an 11mm spanner as mentioned earlier in the thread.
