Hey. You seem to have done much of painting and rust removal. There is an L and R on the protection plate, or atleast should be. You have those covers on just opposite sides, I have those covers as non installed so checked this by curiosity and from my pre demounting pictures. Happy weekend to you :)

I think all the moisture will end up being pushed through the cooler into the moisture filter. I'm not sure how I can drain the cooler unless I undo the connections every time, even if it was upside down.

No vibrations. It was already balanced. Changing the end won't affect it.

@TyeTreegaming it's not a simple task, but you can purchase a spare dme with EWS deleted. Then all you have to do is swap the DME and never worry about EWS. If you want EWS back, swap back your original DME. Look on eBay, they go for as cheap as $100.00. Send me your email if you'd like.
