6-7 hours? You must be awesome - it took me probably 10 days of work at like 2 hours per day. Do you have a lift and power tools and a torch?

IIRC it took me 2-3 hours just to get my shift rod disconnected, spent another 1-2 hours on a rounded tranny bolt, another hour on a tie rod end bolt that froze up. Then with 3 of us it was like 1 hour just to get the tranny back up and in, and them maybe another hour to put the subframe back up by myself...



Errr we must be awesome! My dad helped me change the clutch. No bolts were seized, rounded and a torch was not needed. Yes we did have power tools and a hoist to work with. From what I remember, we had the shafts out within an hour. The only [censored] was one of the subframe bolts started turning with the nut...so we had to fight a little bit with that.
