Stripping the block... what\'s next?

[Jim_rx7]

Ok guys, this is the stage I\'m at at the moment of stripping the block....












Curious as to what\'s next?? I\'m already beginning to forget the order of putting some stuff back on. Oh well.... lmao.

thanks in advance.

Front pully wheel & Flywheel off next would be good

[Jim_rx7]

My local garage are going to buzz the flywheel off for me.

I\'ll go take the front pulley off then.. (or at least try).

DIY RE :Thumbsup!

I\'ll host them online somewhere if I can get time (between gaming and forum browsing)

cheers mate.

[Jim_rx7]

Argh! How to you get the nut off on the front pulley?

[Kieron]

A big bar? :Thumbs-up

[Jim_rx7]

Got there in the end! lol.

Wedged the flywheel with a screwdriver and used a "big bar" ... lol.

Quick question guys...

The plate behind that pulley... I\'ve undone all the bolts I can see, also those under the sump that are in that area. It moves a little near the top when pulled, but not much anywhere else.

Does the sump pan need to come off prior to this?


This is the part I mean.. the part just behind the pulley.

u should get the dvds man lol, it`ll help u no ends

i think you need to take the big 54mm nut off the flywheel end before anything else and then the sump, then all the bolts that go through the block.

[Jim_rx7]

This is the part I\'m trying to get off... so the flywheel needs to come off first?



PS : that pulley is off.

cheers

I know!!! lol. Not doing that bad without it though.

Plus this will surely help others at some point down the line.

[karl_tate]

not sure weather the flywheel and that has to come off to get the front cover off but i would get the flywheel and the 54mm nut off first and go from there, then you can take the sump off along with all the bolts.

[shaunwil]

Is that an inside floor ??

Once you split the front cover off there will be lots of fluids leaking out !!!!! Mainly oil and Coolant.

Yeah... that already happened when I tipped it on its side.

Heaps of oil and coolant. Was very messy!! Was coming out faster than I could clean it up!!
