Two things I've got to say....

1. When you get the rear mount bolt almost all the way out and "are going to take it out as soon as we get a little pressure on the motor" don't forget about it, and then get it all out of allignment and try to get it out, it sucks....

2. When the drivers side axle won't come out of the hub assembly after 10mins of hammering, get a sledge, and waist another 15mins on it...


hehehe

It went pretty well other than those - minor details...

"Minor details"

That's always the trouble, isn't it? Our trans drain bolt is permanently in there. We broke the tip of an impact wrench off on it. Had to pull the axle out to drain it...

Wonder what else we'll run into....

So your car has one of those "permanent drail plugs" too eh? My NX has one, I yanked the net. safety switch, much much cleaner than the time I yanked the axles and remembered as the fluid ran all over me that "I need to drain the tranny"....


Ahhhh the joy of cars.

Let me say, Chris is a great frind, to invite me to his brand new house to mess his new pretty garage floor up with the fluids of my car. thanks again.

Don't you love where the shifter linkage nuts are??:rolleyes:

Or the plugs under the intake manifold??:rolleyes:

What a PITA!! But well worth it in the end (I hope!)
I'm doing it as we speak!
