Any special bleeding prodecure when R&R'ing evo X rear end?????

Does anyone know if there is any special bleeding procedure when R&R'ing a Rear end from an Evo X ?? I'm wondering if the AYC needs some special attention?

I sold a Rear end to someone out of an evo X with 6200 miles. The car was stock besides coilovers, rims, intake and an intercooler. The car ran and drove perfect, never was launched or tracked at all. The rear end is removed from the car and then sold. The purchaser puts the Rear end in the car and gets on a hwy. He says the rear end locked up and the car spun around. This was within probably 5-15 miles of installing the rear end.

Now I know for 10000000% fact the rear came out of a perfectly running and driving car. So to imagine that cr with only 6200 miles on it was destined to have the rear lockup within 15 miles of when the rear was removed is just too much coincidence for me to believe. The person who bought it claims to drained whatever remaining fluids were in the rear and reinstall new fluid, but something doesnt sound right.

I'm not some newbie on here or someone that came to move a quick and i think my feedback can vouch for me since 99% of it is from buyers. Any ideas?

He needs to take it to Mitsu for a special bleed procedure with the Scan tool for the ACD fluid. You can't just refill the system, it has to be bled as well.

Theres NO way around that right? Like I know the Xfer case is the same way but there are ways around it. The rear end theres really no adjustment so i cant see there being a way around it. LMK



PS** He told me before he purchased it that he's removed them from evo X's before and even now says he's done it before, so I never even thought to look into any special tooling being needed. I left off with him telling him to open it and lets try to determine the cause of failure. I have no problem taking care of a problem that I'm responsible for, so I guess I just need to see some more info.

I say download the service manual, and look at the procedure for the rear end.
