As my M3W is still locked up but I just may prep it tomorrow as we are finally getting some warmer weather. However, I will not be changing out the sprocket just yet as I still have a bit of life in the third one. I think about the end of May I will drive it to the dealer so we can swap the Super Max rebuild in. It is much easier with a proper lift as, for convenience as well as saving our backs, the car goes up and down a number of times for the change.
Right now it's "mud season", the 'fifth season' of the year in Vermont. Many roads are dirt and still quite frozen underneath. That expands the roadway. When they thaw they collapse a bit and turn into the consistency of puppy poo... You do not wish to drive or even walk on this stuff. I have a full size Toyota Tundra with 4WD and very good BF Goodrich AT/KO tires. I have been almost bogged down up to the hubs in this... stuff. The paved roads are just as bad with frost heaves. It will test the suspension of any car and your kidneys will cry. When they subside, by heat and pressure, the road has a tendency to return to its constituent parts, gravel. A joyous season loved by all!
Rest assured, when I change the sprocket out you will get the full report.
