We have the 1350 JE Reels, not difficult at al to installl....
Few things I learned during the install....
A puller makes taking the factory flanges off much easier. We installed one of these in the parking/staging area at Rausch Creek.
You'll want to get new pinion nuts since they are considered one time use.
You dont use the factory dust caps, the JE Reel flanges are not designed to use them and according to Jim at JE Reel are not needed.
Just make sure you torque the pinion nuts properly to ensure you dont have any issues.
