The Harbor Freight 3/16 long punch (comes in a 5 pack) works perfectly. Bottom line is if you tap it good a few times and it doesn't move you're tapping the WRONG SIDE.

BTW got the axle out, pix pf the carnage are forthcoming. Thinking very seriously about throwing another 914 CV in there. OK I can wait...the 951's shipped today and should be here Friday. Why do it twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ?

Thanks Mike. I'd love to post pics of the CV carnage but there WAS NONE. Seems I must have been (un)lucky enough to twist the axle just right while the conversion was going on to work one of the bearings loose or something since the engine was installed/removed several times. No metal fragments at all, everything was just loose in there. Weird.

Anyway I have the thing apart and still need to finish a few things in the cooling system so might as well wait one more day and get the 951 CVs. After hearing from a few 6 cylinder/V8 conversion folks that the 914 CVs will inevitably fail I'd rather not worry about it.

I'd rather put the effort into new lettering for the engine grill that says PORSCHARU.

Yeah, I found them on the net once. I think it was a bus conversion place. What do you wanna bet they don't own or have any copyrights on that bit of fusion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Well since the Subie boxer 4 bears a STRIKING resemblance to the type 4 VW motor I'm pretty sure the two companies aren't too friendly with each other either. Tonyakavw's thread has some cool photo comparisons I think.

Well, I figured out which way NOT to pound out my pedal cluster roll pin if you recall that.

The 944 CVs were the wrong spline count (must be 33, not 25...roughly pre-1987 is what you need) so I just slapped another 914 CV in and it works fine. I think one of the bearings popped out during the multitude of times I took the inner one on and off the trans stub. Ran it around the block...and now it's RAINING (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ! Video is coming though...2nd gear is good!

Really need to do some updating here, but just thought I'd post the best cut of a VERY SHORT video I made for a friend who's recovering from surgery. It's a wobbly cell phone video but the sound is worth it. Had to keep it hands-free. The car isn't done, but at least I can drive it now. Need to finish the interior and button up the wiring better. Then once I get it done I will take it all apart and get it painted.

Anyway, here it is:

Pretty familiar noise eh? Bob made the exhaust for his EG33, which of course sounds great. He kept saying it was "gonna be loud", but I like it just how it is. Any softer and it'd be too quiet. Wish I would have shut up entirely during the vid but the adrenaline takes over.

Thanks to all who offered advice, help, posted pics, fixed stuff I broke, sent me free parts, etc. I'll try to return the favor any time I can.

Next up is the interior and a little work on the wiring harness to pretty it up.

Definitely worth it. Wouldn't be driving it without that clutch plate you made. Holding up nicely and the clutch is very light... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

You can get individual auto style letters on ebay. Ran across them looking for certain numbers...
