I got the motor and transmission out of the car today. The next step is to clean everything and start transferring parts from the old motor to the new one. Also, I need to clean up the engine bay.
I have a few questions; hopefully you guys can help me out:
1.) I am having problems removing the driver side axle; it seems to be seized into the hub. Is there a trick of the trade that I can try to remove this?
2.) The Haynes Repair Manual says that if the car is to be moved with the axles out, a through bolt with two large washers (one on each side of the hub) should be installed and tightened securely. Is this absolutely necessary? I just need to move the car a few feet into the driveway to clean and degrease the engine bay and then roll it back into the garage?
3.) I would like to remove the emission controls from the engine bay. I will be using a 1g ecu, so if I remove the solenoids on the firewall will I still get a CEL? Will there be any ill effects? Is it okay to remove these?:
Thanks for the help fellas!
