Calling Sacramento teeners...work party Febuary 17th, tranny, brakes, etc. Options

[biosurfer1]

Here is what I have set out as far as work for next weekend.

1. Install new brake calipers/pads/lines
2. Install rebuilt tranny/ convert shift linkage to sideshift/ new bushings
3. Install new stainless steel fuel lines

Thats about it for next weekend besides check things out "while I'm in there" to get the next list going.

Anyone who would like to help, it would be much appreciated. I have most of the tools needed (expect the lift). I'm hoping to have it all done Saturday so I can enjoy it Sunday, but it all depends on how slow I am and getting stuff done. I'm hoping to get a few experts in the garage to point me in the right direction.

Plenty of burgers and beers for everyone. Post here or PM if you can make it!

Many thanks go out to the good Doctor for the tranny rebuild, Eric Shea for the work of art calipers, and Racer Chris for the fuel lines.

I am on the same schedule! Goin to try to get the engine dropped this week and do the side-shift conversion this weekend. Watching and helping this weekend in Sac would be a great confidence builder....and set back my schedule a little. We'll see as the weekend approaches if I am free or even close to "on schedule"

PM me your location + contact info please - I might just wake up Sat AM and drive out there.

Also - the Pelican Tech article "Check List" for engine drop tools is not working for me. Can you tell me what exact "special tools" are needed? I think I need a M10 12-point for the CV bolts and M10 6 point for the engine bar/body bolts??? Anything else out of the ordinary?

I'm gonna drop some serious change with the Snap-On guy this week and buy the 5-75lb torque wrench to compliment my old Craftsman 50-250.

This will be my first engine drop personally, but my 1.7 was professionally installed only 1 year ago so nothin should be rusted solid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
