Well I am having trouble taking my endyn breather off, there is a stamped aluminum plug to fill the stock breather hole that you have to tap in, I cant get it out. I tried punching a hole in it, beng it, grabbing the edge with pliers, nothing. this sucks, anyone have experience with this?

DaveF

if its a freeze plug, you have to knock it sideways with a punch or something, then pull it out with vicegrips

ProjectDarkBlack

sounds like an idea. I biting in to the hole with a screw, the yanking on the screw. Not a
good idea, the tip broke off and I don't see it

DaveF

take the oil pan off, i bet its in there

ProjectDarkBlack

ya I think it is. I tried your trick, however I could get the edge very good and just ended up hammering it in farther. Do you think I can push it out from the inside?

Not easily accessable from the inside.

I ended up trying to push it out from the inside.... I put a socket behind it then pryed it out with a beefy screwdriver. I was trying to save it to use over again. That didn't go so well so I drilled it then used a hook to pull it out.

I later bought the z10 plug which is worth the money.

ProjectDarkBlack

ya I have another screw in there now. Its about 1/2" deep so i will see what can be done. I really appreciate the input, I am super frustrated right now. Smog was due last wednesay

DaveF

if you need a z10 plug let me know.

ProjectDarkBlack

anymore ideas?

DaveF

is the plug completly inside of the hole? can you get ahold of 2 sides of it, and crush it (say with channel locks or something) that would make for easy removal

if its still sideways in the hole, try pryin it out with a prybar.

I finally got it out. I drilled it wide enough for a stock exhaust bolt, then got a crescent wrench and put the bolt through the plug and put the nut on via the bottom of the block. After that It took me about an hour of messing with it, once I got decent leverage it came right out


-8 hours of my life

The z10 unit is worth the money after those 8hrs..... trust me mang.

Pick it up from dturd!

ProjectDarkBlack

no I am done with this crap lol. Too much money and work for a college student

SOOOOOO much fun though, I drove my ls NA today. It was so slow that I thought something was wrong, but then I figured out nothing is wrong, it just is THAT slow.

You can't quit man, this is like the Mob...once your in there is no getting out.

I tried to quit myself but it didn't work out. Sold my CRX last year thinking I could get rid of it for good but now I have an EK...LOL

I live with the Motto, "If it ain't got **** or burn gas I ain't playing with it."

Good luck with what ever your doing.

ProjectDarkBlack

aha, but you might be wrong I am getting a YZ250F motocross bike and a 98+ BMW M Coupe (hardtop/hatchback) version of the M roadster in the next year. I want to go road racing and maybe some motocross races, instead of back road rally cross lol.

The Z4 M coupe is nice but I like the older Coupe. I am actually selling mine but it's not an M .

Here is a pic of it with my friend standing in front of it.

You will be back to good old Honda.

riceball777

this is why you shuld not be cheep and should have just got the z10 freze plug
they are very easyly removable

ProjectDarkBlack

whats everyone talking about z10 for? lol, I haven't heard of the z10 yet and I actually got the Endyn because it was something I didn't want to cheap out on ha ha.

Ya the Z3 M coupes are nice, freakin goofy looking and I love it, they are really rare and look way different than anything else
