The two up against the firewall are an absolute bitch in the car, and nothing to it out of the car. > Good News about the steering rod and the inner drivers. I just didnt realise > that. > Makes a difference. Were you able to make out those drivers on the pictures? There's one which shows the right-side one (left as viewed from the nose of the car) - you can see the starter leaning up against the wheelwell arch, just laying out of the way - that photo. Zoom in (click once or twice on thumbnail) and you can see the driver cup & rubber boot there. When you lift the whole thing, that improves the angle and makes the gaps larger, so the inner drivers just drop out with a bit of wiggling of the whole thing. Having a backhoe as a hoist isn't absolutely necessary, but it sure helps ;) > *sigh* > I _only_ have to replace the aux shaft that I broke when I rebuilt the oil > pump and put the wrong rubber seal in there so it wouldnt turn anymore... > Grr. By aux shaft you mean the layshaft that drives the water pump and the oil pump, yes? Yup, no way other than pulling the engine to get that sucker out. Mind that you don't do the same thing whe you install the water pump - any instructions which mention a slide hammer are WRONG and will break teeth. I can write something up on that if you want. > Thanks again! Da nada. Dave Hinz
