    Well, more like remove the engine. What size bolt do I need to remove the release fork from the tranny. I see I need a 10mm allen wrench to remove the cover, then it says I need a 6mm dia bolt to release the fork.

    What thread pitch and how long does it need to be?

    I need to get that today from the parts place so I can pull the engine tomorrow.

    Any suggestions?

    Use the bolt that holds the plastic cover over the alternator.

    Seems like a good enough idea to me

    Thanks, that fits great. :D

    Last question, do I screw in the bolt all the way to release the fork? The manual isn't specific about this. Don't want to fug it up.

    After this, I just have to remove the DP from the turbo then the lower cross brace so I can get to the four lower tranny bolts then pull the heater hoses and she is ready to pull.

    Got the enigne lift last Thursday night so tomorrow is the day.

    They'll be some of this :beer: with an end result of this :banana: and hopefully none of this :grr:

    :D

    Thanks again Mike!!

    You only need to get a few threads in then use a flat head or pliers and pry/pull it out.


    I was supposed to do a clutch tomorrow but it had gotten so bad that the person couldn't wait.

    Now I have some free time. Want a hand?
