lol, of course ^^^

why u think i posted?

nah, but i gotta guy comin this weekend that wants to buy the engine outta my wrecked car, so i gotta get it ready to be pulled

Pull axles
Disconnect the harness (id suggest to disconnect the harness from the ecu, and pull it thru the firewall, so you can put it back on the new motor.
Disconnect exhaust manifold
Drain fluids

its not too complicated.. just got to keep up with your bolts, and pay attention to what your doing.

crap, didnt know i had to drop the axle. and i take it the "fluids" includes the tranny fluid too, huh? does Advance Auto/Autozone/etc. take that stuff, or do I need to take it to a shop or somethin? thanks

you can leave the fluids in it, just when you pull the axles out your gonna need some plastic bags to keep the fluids from coming out, but you can drain it if you want to.

They dont take that at parts stores, just oil.. BUT you could get away with putting it in the tank.. they wont know, or prob care.

The axles arent hard, if you got a breaker bar..its easy, if you get lucky it wont make you curse too much. If your rims allow you to, you can loosen the axle nut before you jack it up..and save time.
