ok i'm starting today to swap my D15z6 for my D15B.......stop laughing.....anyway i have a engine hoist, i'm prolly going to figure out somewhere to jack it up at. meaning i dont have hooks on my engine. i have a full socket set a bunch of random tools. are there any special tools or things that i need to get or do before i start. other than a breaker bar.?

 

to actually pull the engine out put one bolt through a chain and into the front tranny mount and the other one goes somewhere behind the head on the driver side.

but other tools you will need are a hammer, rubber mallet will help on some parts, pliers, a punch for the "bitch pin", prybar and a swivel socket will make life so much easier.

 

nope no special tools are really needed. Drain pan for oil and coolant. engine host and some chain. and metric socket set.

 

All you need is your basic tool set, a hoist, and some rubber gloves.

 

you dont even need a hoist... i find it easier without one. since you already have a hoist and i dont want to explain, use your hoist

i hate that pin

 

oh yeahhhhhh, if you're going to be swapping over the tranny, you need a 17mm 12 point socket and a 10mm 12 point socket to take out the flywheel and pressure plate bolts. to make life easier, try to find a clutch alignment tool or you can make one

torque wrenches are a must for specs

 

tools that will make your life easy would be a 8mm punch for the bitch pin, and a ball joint seperator to take off the drive shafts, also you might need a braker bar (or air gun) and 32mm socket for the axle nut

 

whats the "bitch pin"?

 

how do you take out the engine without a hoist? also, where can you get the cheapest hoist, anyone know?

thanks!

you dont need a ball joint puller, just hit the lca with a hammer and it will slide right out

the bitch pin is a little pin that i think connects the shift linkage to the tranny
