As my 8258 is being shipped to me, I started to wonder if I need any additional parts to make Han's critical modifications? Or is it enough just to have those from the set?

If you are talking about Han's "Modification Package for the 8258 Crane Truck", his PDF instructions show the additional parts that you will need. Han wrote,

"The modifications are categorized into 3 areas:

1) CRITICAL: many customers noticed that the original set sometimes 'crunches' the 12th tooth bevel gear nearby the XL motor drive-shaft. This can be solved by applying ALL these critical modifications.

2) IMPROVED PLAYABILITY: modifications who will contribute to a more effective usage of the technic functions.

3) APPEARANCE: only 'cosmetic' modifications."

I know the instruction shows that, but I wanted to save time and just ask if those parts are like the spare parts from 8258 or if they should be obtained from somewhere else - instead of performing time-consuming check of bricklist. I don't even have the set yet and I wanted to get any other parts that will be needed before it arrives :)

Recommend using the Bricklink Catalog function to find the various Technic parts that you will need, and then order them from one of many Bricklink stores worldwide. :classic: To save time, you may want to find the Part Numbers on this Bricklink Inventory of the 8258 Crane Truck.

Thank you for answers but I think you did not understand me - I bet it is due to my poor ability of expressing thoughts in english, sorry :|. You informed me that parts needed in various steps of the mod are listed there (what is obvious :P), and you told me where to buy various parts (which was not so obvious). And I wanted to get the information if I have to buy anything (taking into consideration that I don't have any other technic set) or will I be able to use only parts that come in the box.

You will have to buy ALL of the parts listed in Han's modification PDF document. The standard 8258 set does not have the parts to make the additional, "Critical" modifications.

Hi. I have a problem with modification MOD1. I edited (book 1, page 40, step 35) as an adjustment from Han (picture 1 and picture 2). The problem is that the modification it is not fixed, because it extends the support arm and gear which is on a yellow pin (picture 3) is rotated to the sides and shoulders when they run out at the end, so that the gear switch. The same applies even if replacing the 5 axis, 4 axis with the bush (picture 4) as it also moves sideways and the teeth are destroyed. How could this be remedied to the teeth do not destroy it? Advise me if you can. Thank you.
