Gearz Episodes: The Knuckle Buster (Part 2)

The Knuckle Buster (Part 2)

Season: 3 | Episode: 2

Today on GearZ, Stacey jumps back into the "KnuckleBuster" project and deals with an area we can all relate to...a sick engine and transmission. But instead of getting rid of that old worn out vehicle, you can bring it back to life by stuffing in a new engine and transmission. Stacey walks you through the steps to show you just how easy this can be. You have to be willing to bust your knuckles some and get your hands a little dirty! After that, Stacey puts on the gloves and shows you how to perform a little surgery on a tired rear-end in order to get the traction that only a locker can supply. Make sure to turn your head and cough!
