@914teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I don't know if that was a result of fat fingers or just a plain old Brain Fart!

Alright folks, I finally got around to getting the 914 up on stands and slid under the car to start seeing what was what. I promptly discovered this is a larger task than I initially expected after reading through the procedure in a few of the manuals... I also discovered some additional damage... (output flange and CV, see below)
I'm contemplating just pulling the engine and trans, then pulling the axles. This would: 1- Avoid having to screw around with the HE's and risk one not sealing up properly upon re-install. 2- Make it much easier to drain and refill the transmission fluid (the output flange on the side that came loose was damaged on one of the locating dowel holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and no dowel pins left on that flange) 3- Make installing shifter bushings easier? 4- General clean up and inspection of drivetrain and engine compartment would be nice. Another issue I saw while under the car, the CV that came loose had broken a piece off the cage that holds the ball bearings in place... Can I get just a new cage or do I need a new complete CV joint? Anyone up in Nor-Cal (I'm in Yuba City) be willing to meet up for a Saturday and help make sure I don't make any costly mistakes? It's nice having an extra set of eyes and hands from someone with a bit more experience than myself. I'd be more than willing to compensate your time. (An extra floor jack and an impact gun would be nice, but I can borrow an impact gun from my FIL if needed.) |

You don’t have to pull it all, but if you are thinking of doing anything else, you might as well, as I’m sure you will see a few other things to do also.

When dropping my engine recently I found my CV bolts ridiculously loose. Am I just lucky nothing broke loose prior, or has this problem been blown out of proportion???
