hey, as usuall.... i have some random questions about pulling the RB26 motor from the GTR.
#1 when pulling the motor, do you have to remove the mud.splash gaugrd liners... they're basically the black plastic inner front fender liners...gotta remove those?
#2 i know you have to unbolt the front axels... but do you have to remove them completely? or just unbolt them?
#3 to unbolt the front axles is it easiest to take off the wheels, steering knuckles, tension rods and tables? or can it be done without taking all that stuff off?
#4 you don't need to bleed/drain the power steering system right? just unbolt the PS pump from the block... correct?
#5 same story for AC pump as PS pump.. right?
#6 when using an engine crane (2 tonne capacity) what on earth do are you supposed to use to connect that massive hook and chain from the crane to the block? ive seen people use seat belts, other chains.. but whats the Reccomended safest way?
#7 how many tranny bell housing bolts are there? (lol)
#8 the plan is to leave the tranny in place, so do i drop the front shaft from the engine side? and whats the best way to drop it? undo the circlips, and bolts that go through the U-joints?
#9 do i need to bleed the clutch system or can i just carefully unbolt the slave from the fork?
#10 i heard there was something special you need to do to release the fork and its done by moving the rubber boot from the fork and reaching inside and un-doing something in there.. whats the deal with this?
i think thats it for now, im sure there'll be more question as time goes on but id appreciate input on this..
thanks very much!
