how can you not get to the bolts on the header?

 

use a open end wrench

 

use a short extenison and u should be good

so u trying to remove this engine on ur own Kyle

u should of called me up bro u know I am down for sure

 

ok i can get to the bolts but i cant get the socket on the bolt straight. eventually i went under the car more and got ti on but cant take those bolts off. they are really on there. so i sprayed all purpose lube and am letting it sit for a bit and spraying a bit more tomaro morning. also when removing the engine what do i do with the wiring harness? do i unplug it from the ecu and slide it through the firewall and leave all sensors and everything plugged in?

you can take the head off with the top half of the header still on. You can also leave the intake manifold on also.

Before removing the engine unplug the miniumum amount of harness's so you can take the engine out and still have most of the harness plugged onto the engine. I believe there are a few connectors on the left and right sides of the engine bay right near the shock towers. Is the engine harness already modified to fit the b16 ? If not then take the harness off and let rywire do it, or do it yourself.

 

yeah it was modified for a b16. ok how do i remove the axels? my neighbor has pulled motors but not FWD. so i only need help with the axel removing. thanx for all the ehlp so far guys i really appreciate it
