Carl,

It has been so long since I did the 3 I cant remember but on the 4 and 
6, you cannot put it all together first and then install it.

On the 4 and 6 you have to do it by sections working with the inspection 
covers off to gain access to both wheel boxes. Real PITA on both 4 and 
6. Messy since everything is greased. Lots of colorful language was 
heard in the garage during installation.

No measurements available sorry.
