I guess you can call this an update, but I just found out my friend has an engine hoist!
Hopefully getting that Sunday afternoon, and then I'll hopefully be pulling the engine on Wednesday with my dad ![]() Possible scrapping the car Wednesday as well. |

yeahh i have 3 lol
the middle one is actually blue and that's the one i'm taking the manual tranny out of in the spring. I do have it, it's not in bad shape, but you will need to fix up the area where the nozzle goes into it cause it has a little bit of rust on it. The car might be getting scrapped tomorrow, so let me know if you want it. This post has been edited by mkernz22: Dec 10, 2014 - 9:31 AM |

mission engine pull equaled success!
i have pictures, but im too lazy to post them right now lol It only took my dad and I about 3 1/2 hours to pull it (our first time). The driver's side axle wouldn't come out of the hub and it wouldn't come out of the tranny so we did it our own way. Also, found out the reason why the tranny was f*cked up, you'll see in the pics once i post them. Overall though, it was a great experience! |

We were whacking at the axle, after we took the bolt off, for at least 15-20 minutes.
The bolt alone on the driver's side took about 30 minutes to get off. Yeah, it was that stuck / rusted on there. The passenger side was a breeze through! BTW, I have the first piece that you were looking for, but I can't seem to find the other bracket. |

Alright, so here's the scoop with some pictures, well a decent amount of pictures.
This is my first ever engine pull and the same goes for my dad. Just a picture before everything was setup. We had to turn the car around, wasn't that hard because there wasn't anything in it, but we did push it back up the driveway with the blue car. It's not like anyone was going to be buying the rear bumper off it anyway haha ![]() Don't have any pictures of it, but we jacked the car up and took the wheels off. I had to run to the local auto parts store to get a 30mm socket because I never had a reason to have one before lol While I was gone my dad took the bolts and nuts off the bottom of the control arms. ![]() We then proceeded to take the nut off the axles. The passenger side came off very easily and the axle came out after a few bangs. Then I unbolted the carrier bearing area, hit a flat head in between the two brackets and they just popped apart and the axle was out of the tranny. ![]() ![]() The driver's side, well that's another story... Basically, the nut was well rusted and stuck on there. We sprayed plenty of PB Blaster on it and it took us a while to get it off. After, I'd say about, 30 minutes later and a slightly bend 1/2" ratchet, it was off, but we still had to overcome another problem. The axle was rusted on as well, who would have figured? After 15 minutes of whacked and blasting it we gave up. I gave Manny (Pressure2) a call to ask him how to get the axle out of the tranny. He explained it to me, but my dad and I couldn't figure it out so that lead us to doing it our own way. ![]() Pretty much we just cut the boot / rubber piece that was on there, and yanked part of the axle out. It worked and it saved us a lot of time haha After that we cut the exhaust right after the header ended because the nuts on it were stripping. The guy in the picture is my dad. ![]() ![]() Then we proceeded to disconnect all the hoses and junk so the engine would pull right out. While we were starting to pull the engine we forgot about the shifter cable. Since neither of us realized that there was a bracket that was mounted to the tranny holding the cable in place, we just took a saw to the cable and cut it lol Once that was done we hooked up the chain to the engine brackets, or whatever you want to call them, and pulled it out. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After it was out, we stumbled upon the answer to why the automatic tranny was sh!t. ![]() Must have spun or broke something in there lol Then just a picture of my dad and I. ![]() And here are just a few random pictures of different things. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And that's pretty much it haha My first time really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! Any one want anything before I junk it??? It's getting junked this Friday! This post has been edited by mkernz22: Nov 24, 2010 - 9:34 PM |
