Might drop the exhaust and hit those nuts with some heat. Also you'd have a bit more space and only need a gasket (hopefully) or copper rtv to reassemble. Assuming the exhaust is also not crazy rusty like the rest, or you don't have the same problem on the other end getting the nuts off. :v:

Strange it doesn't use an o2 sensor socket like every other one I've ever seen.

Put bolts in half a dozen turns, put a sacrificial socket on them (so the heads remain recognizable) and bash the gently caress out of them in a star pattern using a large chakra adjustment hammer. Eventually it will pop out, then you unscrew the bolts again.

I did this with just a big rear end impact socket on the bearing itself. Mini sledge done hosed that socket up. But it was enough for 2 bearings. :v:

Thanks for the electrolysis tank idea as it made me think of that I actually have a spare garbage can on wheels (with a lid) that would be perfect for the application. Especially as I'm hopefully buying a Dodge Dart soon and might (will) need it. Anything that can do work while I do other things is great, and it would be cool to have for bigger stuff!

If you already have a spare, why buy another?

I came home today to find he had started half a dozen projects with dozens of bolts pulled off and all in one big pile

Jfc. There would be words and hurt feelings.

What a roller coaster. At first I was like "that guy sucks, loving with all your projects when you aren't around" and then he goes and hooks you up with a welder and goes down to the wire for you. That's pretty awesome. :allears:

I missed exactly what the swap was among the oil filter chat. Auto to manual? I'm not real familiar with these vehicles but a giant trans and a tiny one make me think so. Is the trans from a stock manual version of this truck or from something else? Either way, nice work.

I'd be pretty pissed if I paid 700 dollars for a Bluetooth exhaust system too.

Seems like a good spot for switches if you have a good use for them. Otherwise if you're going for a stockish look it might look tacky.

Nice work. I would make a ring a few inches tall or even a half ring welded to the bottom where the bottle sits to keep it in place better instead of ratchet straps (well it would replace the lower one at least). If you change bottle sizes though then maybe not. Use it for a bit and you'll figure out your needs/likes and dislikes.

They don't even put drain plugs on transmissions, the last car I changed the fluid on that had one was a 62 with a powerglide. The next step beyond is the lifetime fill transmissions without dip sticks.

Then there's the savings of not putting an access hole for the fuel pump, that's a second or third owner problem usually.

Jiffy lube can't gently caress up draining the wrong sump. Checkmate.

Ooh, I like this thinking, but I have a twist idea: Water in the sprayer tank squirts onto the heater core. We�d need to deflect the steam but it would remove heat from inside the engine instead of just the outer part of the block.
