I have a 2000 OBW which should be exactly like yours. I too had trouble finding the connector but yes, it was up there, passenger side, behind the interior trim, closer to the wheel well than to the tail-light. Frankly, it is wrapped tighter and more completely than it needs to be for something that is intended to be accessed.

2000 OBW, 110K. Am replacing front axles with MWE that should arrive soon. In removing the old ones, passenger side came out easily but driver's side wouldn't budge after removing axle nut. A few taps from a hammer made no difference. Rented a hub puller which did the job, but the axle was difficult to remove from the hub the entire distance of the splined shaft. How am I going to be able to install the new one? Will a generous application of lubricant do the trick, and if so what should I use? Or will I have to replace the hub? TIA.

It appears that it is easiest to drive out the DOJ drift pin on the passenger side from above, after removing the air filter housing and snorkel. But on the driver's side, it appears that the starter is in the way of an effort to approach the pin from above. Is it possible to drive the pin out from the bottom on the driver's side?

2000 OBW 108K. My CEL has been intermittently coming on, so I had my mechanic pull the code today, with the CEL on. Result: "P0328 knock sens 1 high input." What does this mean? Has the knock sensor gone bad, or is it telling me something else? I had replaced the knock sensor about 10K ago, with an OEM one from the dealer, so I would be surprised if it had failed so soon. Is it possible I damaged it during installation? TIA.

2000 OBW, 108K. Slightly overdue for timing belt change; 105K is the recommended interval. I removed the driver's side cam sprocket cover and inspected the belt and don't see any obvious defects. Should I put any faith at all on a belt that 'looks good' at this mileage? And, what is the bare minimum of other parts that should be replaced at the same time as the belt, so as not to unnecessarily repeat labor later on? Water pump? Cam seals? TIA.
