I wasted more time on that stupid drive shaft today. Probably kept me from getting the engine out today..... Uhm, that 46mm nut is an important detail...... Luckily it wasn't on too tight, as all I had that size were my large channel locks. I have got to get a 46mm wrench. I have the socket, but that size keeps coming up from time to time.
The flex disks also were very difficult to pry off. The lip of the insert part were stuck, and it was suprisingly hard to get them unstuck. They are also toast......
Got the tranny mount and plate removed, along with shifter linkage, speedo cable and emergency brake pieces. Motor mount bolts also came out fairly easily, and looked to be in good shape for re-use. Car only has an engine shock on the passenger side, and I got the top nut and bumper off, but couldn't get it loose at the bottom. I'll look at it when motor is out. Almost forgot that oil pressure too.
Had to unhook some AC lines to compressor, and you can see what is left of the battery tray. Once again, the mosquitoes chased me into the house.....
Now it will probably be dark when I get home from work this week. Well, no rush. I have to do all of this to the 240 also......
