[JuMPiiN]

Changed the title name so i didnt have to make another new thread.

So heres my question, how do i remove the axles connected to the tranny to pull out the engine and transmission. Me and my buddy already have everything disconnected except for the mounts of course.

We've taken off the AC Compressor, Alternator, Wiring harness, and all the vacume lines. Just need to removed the axles so we can pull the motor and tranny.

Please help lol i used the search button but just got a bunnch of people swapping engines and no how to remove axles lol.

pulley puller haha

35-50$ at autozone or slightly cheaper at harbor freight

[presure2]

Yup, I just bought a 8" 3 jaw pulled from harbor freight for a stubborn 5s crank pully a few weeks ago.
Iirc it was ~18$

I took some pics of the work so far. I cant get the bottem of the timing belt cover off either and i dont want to mess anything up. Me and one other friend are doing this, replacing the water pump, oil pump, and gaskets and seals, and timing belt and tensioner.

[Bitter]

what do you mean you can't get the lower cover off? you still have the crank pulley installed.

[JuMPiiN]

no you think hints why i asked how to take the damn thing off.... which i know how to now.

[JuMPiiN]

Still won't come off. I'm getting extremely aggravated.

cant see your pics from work, i hope you have the engine out of the car. read my thread on rebuilding the 7A and my thread on turboing my 5S. i have tons of pics in there, maybe they can help you

[JuMPiiN]

I checked your threads and none of the pics will load. And yes engine Is out the car.

[JuMPiiN]

If i buy a Metal Headgasket, do i have to take anything to the machine shop or can i just put it on like any other normal head gasket, and also where exactly do I put my old head studs on the block in order to lift the engine.

Excuse my noobness. This is my 1st engine swap ive done by myself without any help.

Driver Side Axle Removal: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...;hl=driver+axle

Pass Side Axle you just unbolt it from the hub and bearing bracket it should just slide right off after that.

BTW if u search in the right spots you'll find the right answers lol....axle removal is in the suspension area yes it does matters where you search.

[stephen_lee]

the obv first step is remove the huge 30mm nut in the center of the hub

crowbar between axle and tranny to pop it out (exp on pass side, it bolts to a bracket on the block)

remove the 2 nuts & bolt under the hub (that hold the ball joint to the control arm) swing the hub assy away and push the axle out

[JuMPiiN]

I havnt gotten To it quite yet. Figured I'd ask so I'd know what to do tmo. My buddy is arguing with me saying it would be easier to take out just the engine and leave the transmission. So tmo we should tackle that bridge. I'm just going to rename this thread and make it my rebuild/turbo 5s thread. Turbo will be in a few months tho.

[njccmd2002]

lol, its easy to take the axles out, the driver side is more stubborn.

[JuMPiiN]

Do I need a axle puller ?? I tried today and I'm scared imma break it off and then need another tranny.

[stephen_lee]

no. pry in the right place, itll eventually pop out. ive done this... almost 10x on my cars & friends cars. you will be ok

[f1yen]

It's a circlip, so it will need a little motivation to move. just get a prybar under it, or both sides ( I believe hats how i did it last) Might want to drain your tranny fluid first.
