oh I shall, if its not rainning and dark out, I will see if I can snap some updated pics of the MX and how its coming along.

In a while, once I get things sorted out, I will probably have a huge post of crap forsale over on MX-3.com of v6 parts that I have left over... of course you guys get first dibs here... not that they are all the desireable anyways...

what i used to remove my axel from the tranny was a air hammer worked realy good.

[D323]

lol, doesnt that tend to destroy the axle in the process?

Sadly I might have to do that in the end

Well if you have to destory the axles, just take em apart at the CV joint at the tranny, makes it a lot easier to take out if you can't get the axles out. A friend and I had to do that on his Escort LX-E.

what really sux is that fact that the motor wont come out of the top b/c the axles hit the frame rails, and it wont drop out of the bottom w/o me having to remove the radiator and all of that crap.

bah... pics to follow of the destruction.

It still hits if you take it apart like this?????

really?

jezz... so I got to get it apart at the base of the boot in that picture?

[protégébob]

oops meant to put a question mark instead of period . post edited. I know on my buddies escort lxe that's what we had do to. If i remember correctly (this was like 6-7 years ago when we did this) it actually came apart pretty easily once you get the boot off.

[D323]

gotcha.... I guess I will split the boot open and see if I can break it @ the joint.

thx for the input.

I am ordering some SS pipes to make my own down pipe, exhaust, and IC hardpipes...

motor crane..... 80 bux
pipe bender..... 80 bux

I have been hunting for good deals here lately....

I even got a good deal the other day on air tools.... impact, air hammer, blower, tool oil, 4 different air hammer tips, all in a nice carry case for only 40 bux.

[Intruder]

Sweetness.

[protégébob]

so you were able to get it out without destroying the axles??? where did ya find the good deals on the tools?
