lmdew Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Large Hammer Chisel HackSaw Vise Grips 1/2" Breaker bar Essentials for the yard! 1/4" drive socket set 3/8" drive socket set 1/2" drive socket set Combination wrench set 2 large screwdrivers 1/4 or 3/8 pin punch Side Cutters Most of the hardware on the motor is 10, 12 or 14mm Make sure you have a 6 point deep 14mm socket Lower starter nut is 17mm sometimes To get all the wiring out of the car, pull the left front fender and drop or pull the steering wheel. You need to fish all the ECU wires out. Sometimes I pull the dash. Do they have a A-frame for the hoist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 couple of #2 phillips screwdrivers come in handy too. One long and and one stubby to get the screws out above the insturment cluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Anyone happen to be heading up there today?I might use some help to speed the process up...spokane pull and save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboonia Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Bring an electric screwdriver or electric drill with a nutdriver attachment. There are lots of screws and 10mm's that have to come out to get the dash out. You also need to take out the entire heater/AC box also in order to get the wiring harness out. (and the drivers side fender). If you are doing a Vanagon, aircraft, or other transplant, don't forget you need lots of related bits to make the engine run in another vehicle.

jmickelct Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 For a newbie, can I ask what the implements of destruction are intended for (hammer, chisel, hacksaw)?... Will be (paying someone) to swap a 2.2 for a 2.5 in my 96 OBW and am just curious if those are time saving shortcuts to keep yard time down versus something you'd do "the long way" on a car that ran.

Storm Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The hammer and chisel will come in handy seperating the motor from the trans...which is usually a PIA if left to the elements. A hacksaw makes quick work of hoses that have broken or otherwise frozen clamps...or more importantly, an uncooperative exhaust manifold.

Uberoo Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Pulled the motor.The car was showing 196K on the odometer.and had some damage with looked to be enough to total the car(I hopes) the motor came from a 91.the computer I got two weeks earliar came frome the same car...although one thing I didnt notice until I pulled the motor was someone had grabed the alternator...does a GM alternator fit with some tweaking like the EA82's or do I have to find a subaru alternator? didn't grab the harness though...
