(In the process of trying to do an in-depth write up) Done for tonight 4/16/10.


Got everything besides the axles out. The bitch pin was a breeze to get out, wasn't anything like what I expected. I just used a deep 4mm socket to punch it out with. Took like 2 minutes.

#1 Jacked it up, propped up both sides of the car with jack-stands.
#2 Drained the engine oil
#3 Drained the transmission oil. It's kinda neat, all you need to remove the drain plug is a 3/8" socket wrench. No socket on the end of it, it just fits right inside the bolt.
#4 Drained the radiator fluid, there's a little cap that you twist off on the bottom, careful if you twist it all the way out it comes out of two different places.
#5 Took both the left and right front tires off.
#6 Took the aircleaner box and the intake tube. There's three bolts that hold the airbox to the frame. Pretty simple and straightforward.
#7 Removed the radiator hoses. Kinda a bitch if they haven't been off in awhile.
#8 Disconnected battery
#9 Disconnected all the engine wiring harnesses. The little clip thing is one that you press down and then pull out. Works best if you use a screwdriver to slip them apart.
#10 Drained the powersteering pump fluid, pull the hose on the top near the powersteering pulley.
#11 Disconnect the clutch slave master cylinder. It's located towards left front of the engine bay on the transmission. Remove the two bolts and it slides out with some pulling.
