oh yeah, f*ckin right it sucks, I have the parts to change it and everything, thats not the problem, its that the bolt that goes through the hub is welded into place, and no amount of hammering or sledgehammering will get teh damn thing out, so now I kind rigged it up and the tow truck is gonna come get it tomorrow, to bring it to the shop. as it stands now, I won't drive it more than the few feet it's going to take to get it on the truck.

you need to remove the spindle from the car, and put it in a vice... then pound that bolt out with a sledge while heating it repeatedly with a torch. my car was nearly rust free and thats what it took to get it out.

Installed new pads and rotors today in preparation for track day on Friday. My last set of Carbotechs were pretty toasted.

Now they need to be bedded in.

Put the 95 back in the garage awaiting Jon's disty as the car runs like ass at the moment and its getting harder and harder to start when cold! Also on startup she squeals like a bearing and sometimes on decel there is a new high pitched sound. I'm wondering if its that damn alternator belt being made in mexico and being a POS or if my alternator bearing is going!?

DX trans with an LX clutch? thats impossible, the spline count is different. they must have used a DX disc with an LX pressure plate/flywheel?

Whatever it was it wasnt a good clutch. Im just guessing that it was a LX clutch since I didn have a extra to compare it to.

And I just figured out that Protege LX axle is different than a MX3 axle on the drivers side. When I did the engine repair and the trans swap I gave him one of my extra axles and I guess when I tightend the axle nut it pulled it out of the trans. Now I took the bolt out and pushed the axle all the way into the trans and the axle barely is in the wheel hub. Did the MX3 ever come with the bp05 motor? Do I use the stock MX3 1.6 axle that came out of it? Im confused. Im going to go to the parts store to compare the axles. I hope the right side is ok.
