I need as much advice and tips from anyone who has done this themselves. This is my only car and I've been walking/bus to get to work and have been missing school.
Not even sure if I have the money to resurface the head... gonna call a shop near me tomorrow.
Right now everything is disconnected (all wiring harness is disconnected and p/s is off along with the bracket). I'm gonna rent the otc 6667 harmonic balancer puller tomorrow, havent removed crankshaft bolt yet, gonna have to bump it or whatever it's called.
Also i plan in renting a camshaft tool that holds them in place so I can spin the bolts off. I'm working with next to nothing, no air or battery impact. This job is very frustrating and I need my car back... the crank pully tensioner bolt snapped but its locked in place so I should be able to manually tension/mount back on...
I'm at a point where I found a n/t Wiseman's post about removing the top motor mount bracket easily, the rain let up today and I had only a couple hours of light so after I got as far as I could with inbolting things I came back in for research. I'm gonna drop the cross member tomorrow and start to maneuver this engine and make it dance till I can get this dang bracket off.
Can y'all help me out with some tips you've learned from doing this on your n/t? And yes I've read all the write ups I can find and searched in depth removal and install procedures associated with this job and have been reading my Chilton manual like it was the bible and I'm on my death bed after a life of sin .
Pls send help ):
