As I mentioned before, this build will be challenging due to extensive labor it requires. I am starting to have anxiety! : )
Now that the rear suspension bushings are done, I'd like to tackle the fronts. In the instructions, it states that I need to jack the engine a bit up to clear the sway bars. If this is the case, I think I might as well bundle it with the oil pan baffle job.
Synner's thread
here has great info about how to install the baffle without having to cut the cross-bar. I intend to do something similar, following MAPerformance's turbo
install instructions, where they show how the oil pan can be removed with a bar or an engine cherry-pick.
I bought 2-jaw and 3-jaw
bearing pullers in various sized from Harbor Freight. Let's hope that they work fine on the remaining front bushings.
