RE: For those with an aftermarket UCA
I have an 07 and the craftman 50 worked perfectly. to the OP: Yes you do have to drop the tank, I used two floor jacks with 1" wood peices on them. I did this change in my garage on jackstands, so if you have the tools, you can too! Once you get the arm and bracket out, place the new arm in and torque to 129 lbs, then place it back in. It all gets 129lbs. For the last bolt, I only got one click at a time all the way to 129lbs due to the suspension. Have fun and take your time.

Good advice and if you are unsure just have a reputable shop with a lift do it for you!

RE: For those with an aftermarket UCA
Thanks for the advice.
Does anybody have any experience with the Lakewood UCA? I noticed BMR has the anti-clunk washers and the Lakewood does not. I hope this doesn't mean I'm going to have a clunk or maybe the Lakewood UCA is designed a little different.
