i thought it was time to get to my drive before it needed any repiars and today was so nice why not<br /><br />(step 1) pull drive with all the stories about prying and wedgeing and chaining the drive to a tree i was worried<br /><br />but it came off in about 6 minutes hardly had to shake it and no signs of water in the bellows or shift area<br /><br />(step 2) pull apart drive on bench this was a bit harder the big through bolts were pretty salted up but a littel heat and they came out the only broken bolt was the 3/8 under the zink i could not get enough heat to free it up<br /><br />it was pretty easy to drill out<br /><br /><br />(step 3) 6 mm water pump bolts this had me really worried about breaking them but some heat on the case outside of each one for about 40 seconds and they came right out <br /><br />a few pictures<br /><br />
<br /><br />well the ujoints are tight and not rusted so i glad i did not put off changeing the bellows any longer<br />
<br /><br />some tape on the oil passage to keep everything out for cleanup<br />
<br /><br />those GEN II two pumps hold up a LONG time will see if anybody can guess the age <br /><br />
<br /><br />that quad ring looks so much bigger in the service manual<br /><br /><br />(step 4)the dreaded bellows so far the trim senders came right off i was worried what the salt would do to the mounting screws<br /><br />tomorrow will see how much those hinge pins hurt me<br /><br />tommays
