From my experience...

Always have a couple extra CV gaskets on hand.
You can re-use the CV bolts, but always use new schnorr washers. The key is getting it to 31 ft/pds of torque.

Did you find the 12pt 8mm tool yet?

Well Shaggy and Teddy (my youngest son, 15-and-nearing-a-half) are jacking it up and removing the wheels now.

Today's goal is to just get the engine dropped and the oil filter console changed.

Pics to follow, as always I will reserve myself as much as possible.....

I wonder why people don't just go with a hardend bolt with a regular non-recessed head?

Seems like it would makes things easier for everyone.

Not like people are shearing them off unless they overtorque. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Have you reviewed the tech section on this website on how to remove a motor?

McMark put together a nice step-by-step based on the removal of my engine last year.

Plug the lines, use those plastic line crimps or simply connect the fuel lines to themselves in the engine bay.

Well, the engine is out, much thanks to Greg Robbins for the motorcycle jack and his labor and advice for the drop. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)

As part of the drill, the a/c compressor was removed as well. We are gonna need a replacement piece of engine tin for the passenger front side, anyone got one lying around? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I will have Teddy post photos as soon as his homework is complete. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Thanks to everyone for you comments,

John

P.S. Greg has offered to help guide us (Jim and his pal Matt, really) on putting it back in this coming Friday, that is the current goal. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

Congrats on the sucessful drop. It's easier and more fun with several onlookers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chair.gif)

I've got a couple of spares. IIRC, that piece is the same for all engine sizes.

PM me. I should be able to get it to you before friday.
