3Pooches version 3.5

That's awesome. And I probably don't fit. The left hand manual brings back memories. Right drive manual transmission was one of two vehicles I drove in Okinawa.

 

Mod day! Bring it over and let's get it up on the lift.

 

I had to do mine a few years back. I think @EatSleepTacos just did one recently.

Prybar on the frame while bumping the starter worked for me to get the bolt loose on the pulley. I had to make a dohicky to tighten it up without the engine turning. I wanna say its like 200 pounds of torque to tighten or something like that. The pulley has threaded holes so you can attach something to hold it while you tighten it.

 

I’ve got the details for mine below. The hardest part was torquing the damn thing down. I had to weld together a tool to keep it from spinning.

 

I love the piece of CV axle used as a handle. I should probably take a peep at my main seal too, since its getting up there in age/miles

 

I try not to throw away any decent size piece of metal because it’ll come in handy eventually. That’s proven to be true multiple times now.

 

Thank you fellas

 

That would cheating!

 

It sure is!

 

I have determined that the mud at sleepy creek is the kryptonite for toyota main seals

 

I thought it was the mud at Chris and Shannon's house!

 

That mud has other evil properties.

 

Have you made it to AOAA? That anthracite silt absolutely destroys bearings and seals. It’s no joke.

 

AOAA ice isn't nice to radiators either lol

 

Or body panels

 

I haven't been to AOAA without a catastrophic failure. First time my radiator, second time a buddy's ecu. Just my luck

 

So what’s the plan for this weekend?

 

Plan? We don't need no plan.

 

If JT shoots me his address I can meet y'all at his house after the run. If you're late, I'll be doing doughnuts in his front yard.
