Hey guys i am going to try and remove the engine from my 914 today any advice? I am kinda scared to be honest. Is there any advice u guys can offer? I dont have a lift i am going to use a 3 ton floor jack and jackstands along with a furniture dolly. I think i am going to have trouble removing the cv joint.

No... that's Star drive. You'll need an M8 triple square like this....
https://www.jbtoolsales.com/cta-tools-8512-...CFQxWDQodwpAE4Q Assuming the PO hasn't switched the bolts to hex sockets like mine did... Make sure the socket is super clean so the tool can fully seat before attempting to unscrew. Shooting some brake cleaner will do the trick, but wear eye protection. |

You can usually find the triple square bit at NAPA stores also--it may have a hex back end that you put a 13mm socket on to turn it. Frankly, I hate the triple square bolts--way too easy to strip. Check some of the member vendors here for hex head bolts that are drilled for safety wire--'way worth the investment, and you'll get new schnorr washers also.... As to the wiring & hoses, I use blue painter's tape and a marker to number them on both ends--easy peasy going back together....even if it's a year later! |
