Haven't spent as much time on this as I would like to have, but I'm making progress.It's not nearly as terrible as I thought it was going to be. I need to unhook the motor mounts, AC, and tranny still to pull it out.Any tips on the AC? It's fully pressurized obviously and I can't get the...

I had the same problem. I spent two weeks looking for the smallest 90 degree angle drill I could find. If you have to drill it out like I do, your only option is to pull the motor.If the bolts are sticking out a bit you can drill through the side of them or weld something to the tip of it to...

I have the factory service manual on the computer. In the past I have been looking at it and printing what I need. I haven't been able to find any info in the manual about pulling the engine, am I just missing it?Don't even say that, hopefully I don't have ANY left over parts haha! :ohdamn:

So far I have been putting all of the bolts into little plastic containers with a scrap piece of paper describing where it came from. (Radiator Brackets, Hood Brackets)As far as having a diagram, I'm going to need to pull one up for the vacuum lines. I took a bunch of pictures of the hose...

I started the process of pulling the engine today.I have pretty much gutted the passenger side of the engine:I also pulled the radiator and disconnected the throttle cables.The radiator has a pretty thick layer of oil along the bottom 1/3 of the fins from the engine leaking...

Start with the basics. Are you getting gas and are you getting spark?

They do make more than one kind of plastic hose clamp.Just offering some helpful advise for anyone searching threads with hose problems. Check your clamps, if they are plastic they might be old and need to be replaced.Nothing here to argue about.

I'll give it a shot this weekend and get back to you. Thanks for the tips so far.

The axle is out and the support bracket is out with it. The bolts are broken about 1/3 of an inch into the engine block.

I guess it's not as common as I thought?My 2002 eclipse came with plastic clamps on every single hose on the car.They look like the black clamp in the picture below, but plastic not titanium:

Just a though for anyone that looks up this thread in a search:I don't know what clamps our cars come with stock, but my experience has been that plastic clamps loose their holding power in about 40,000 - 50,000 miles and a lot less if you are removing and reinstalling them.I would...

Disclaimer: I spent about 30 minutes searching for a thread that would answer my question before creating this post. I found quite a few threads that cover the issue of these bolts being broken, but not that address them being stuck down in the hole 1/3 of an inch.Make/Model: 1990 Eagle...

The fun begins. I have replaced all of the heater hoses on the car. I have all of the replacement vacume hoses just waiting to be put on. I'm held up for parts right now. The following parts are all on order:Timing Belt Timing Belt Tensioner Tensioner Pulley Idler Pulley Balancer Pulley...
