| - | The folks at Hammer Performance worked out the bugs on a CNC lathe and named it the "Grindlock 2000" (homage to the creater, ~Grind~). ((photos by aswracing of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1618841)) \\ | ||
| - | It is machined out of 6061 T6 billet aluminum. The Grindlock 91-99 was soon to follow. \\ | ||
| - | It holds the pinion gear and shaft securely while you loosen or tighten the pinion nut, without transmitting the torque through the flywheel assembly. \\ | ||
| - | This is critical, because applying torque through the flywheel assembly can easily knock it out of true, necessitating a full tear down to fix. | ||
