If anyone has any experience I could use a couple pointers...i.e. get this one from under, that one from the top etc. A how-to would be perfect ....my Chilton's isn't helping for sh*t I've gotta get them off this weekend or Brad's going to have some extra grocery money this week. BTW - I've got the car up - exhaust down - pulled the oil filter too TIA Last edited by Cathode; 09/07/02 07:30 PM.

The front one is cake. The rear one is not. Flexable bones in your arms help a lot. However if you don't have these... Lots of extensions, universals, gear wrenches, and don't forget the PITA upper alternator bolt... 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

The worst part is that the nuts on the front side were a breeze to get started, but those on the back are in much worse shape.

Do you think there would be any ill effects from driving around with one gutted precat and one not gutted? Maybe I should just put the front one back on. I do have to drive the car to work tomorrow. ohhh dammit...i feel defeated '98 Silver Frost SVT - #2089/6535 Some intake stuff, exhaust stuff, suspension stuff
