finally got the bitch pin out.

here's a quick how-to:

1 - tape together long philips screwdriver and jack handle:



2 - place tip of screwdriver into the top of the bitch pin like so:


3 - hold onto the handle/screwdriver thing while you enlist the help of THIS GUY to beat the living **** out of it :


as it sits right now, it's free of everything, and ready to be slowly, carefully lifted out of the civic..

ran out of time tonight, but tomorrow is going to be happy fun day.. heh

I just use a punch, climb under the car, and tap it out I would amount the diffuculty to that of taking off the oil fill cap

heh

&lt;-- always the smartass...

 

he's not being a smartass. he is our beloved moderator and it's his job to keep the multiple post on the same things to a minimum. he couldve locked it. don't take it personal.

no, wasn't taking it personal.. i meant 'i' was being a smartass..

and i didn't know he was a mod or i wouldn't have responded as such..

i can take this down and add it to the other thread if it's better to do so..

my bad..

heh.. i've got my wife hooked on ATHF now.. *laugh*

a6 is on the floor beside the car ready to go in as soon as the b2 is out of the way, and i do a few minor prep things.. move mounts from the b2 to the a6, swap out the starters, put new mount bushings in the mounts, etc.. if all goes well *crossing fingers* the b2 should get pulled very early tomorrow evening, and after an hour on the a6, i should have it ready to lower in and start connecting.. a long thurs evening/night and i should have the MPFI wired, everything back together, and be ready to set her back down off the jack stands and see if it runs.. heh

 

i just climb under there with a 12mm headed HONDA bolt, and whack it right out

well, i've only actually 'worked' on it in the evenings for a few hours.. and really only for 3 evenings.. (day 3 was kind of a waste of time)..

but i pulled it in and started the tear-out on tues june 1st.. heh

 

well i was just wondering cause mine took me like 1.5 to 2 hours. to take it out. wasnt sure if you came accross some problems or not. good luck man wanna see some more pics when your done.

 

nah, not really any problems, just taking my time.. with a 3 day weekend out of state thrown in the middle..

its also my first time, so i'm trying to learn as i go, yadda yadda..

if i just wanted the thing out of there, it woulda been sitting on the ground a few hours into day 1.. heh

 

8mm punch+hammer=lots of time drink

 

And your dropping in what motor? A d16a6?

sure, it took 5 seconds, and only 3 good hits for it to come out AFTER about 5 minutes of pounding the ever loving **** out of it..

i still haven't found the pin, but i'm gonna bet when i do, it's just as rusty as the hole it came out of..

heh
