Slowly getting it ready. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 01-19-2015, 05:08 PM | #185 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 | I gotta do that too! So I was messing around with the diff cover. I had a friend store this subframe at his garage when I first bought it because we were to do the swap over there. Long story short. He delivered the subframe with a broken fin😡 I tried to fix it last night using some two part epoxy. That didn't work that well so I used contact cement. Anyone else have that funny feeling that it's not going to hold. What else can you do with cast aluminum? Anyway, I went to install the diff bushing and noticed a sleeve. I guessing this sleeve was part of the old bushing? The new bushing will not fit with the sleeve. How the hell do I get this sleeve out now?? __________________ | | | 01-21-2015, 03:43 AM | #186 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 | Gave the car a quick bath in the garage today. Also started to drop the tranny, it was giving trouble breaking it loose from the engine. Had to call it quits as wifey is getting home from work soon.

Just waiting on my rear subframe to get back from garagistic, then the rear will get put back together. Can't wait! __________________ | | | 01-30-2015, 01:06 AM | #192 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | great time to replace that rear main seal now that it's out | | | 01-30-2015, 01:38 AM | #193 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 | Good idea Cedric!
