whats up guys, jeez im tired after that fiasco today! had to find a better place to start preppin the 3s (puttin on h2o pump,cam seals etc) and realized how truly heavy that motor is with the AWD on it...
But anywho i had some quick questions before me and my buddy lay hands on it. as far as taking the tranny off (caldina AWD) is there anything i should be particularly mindful of? or any tricks you all know of? please share! when i replaced my harmonic balancer before, the motor was IN the car, and loosening it wasnt TOO bad because we used some suggested tricks (like using prybar against the ground while starting car to loosen bolt) But now since the motor is out, will i have any trouble getting the bolt off? we should have some power tools, but i remember it beign a PITA without it. also does anybody know the torque specs for the harmonic balancer? i couldnt find it after a long search. feel free to throw in any hints for this prep work!  i'll try to take some pics while we're pokin about with it.

thanks manny! that came in handy! didnt have the impact so gotta wait until tomorrow (i hope he picked it up) in the mean time... here's some MOAR pics
 rear main seal once flywheel is oWt... lets snatch that beyotch oWT!  old rear main and new (seal that sumbeyotch up FTW)  New seal goin in (my boy said im too damn heavy handed insisted that he put it in) see cam seals below to understand what he meant  4  4th gen and other gen water pumps match FTW! (thanx pit&manny)  FAIL! Housings dont match FTMFL!! (notice inside the tunnel where the thermostat goes... the 4th gen water lines are up TOP the other gens water lines at the bottom its ok we'll just disgard the housing. HOPEFULLY the gasket is the same!  coolant lines wont match up  rear main seal in W/sealant for good measure  Cam seals in! (note the notches are TDC) remember to use sealant to be extra sure! and now for some goofin off....  SHADDAP... I KNOW im dark! lol all the better to HIDE! I realized i used all my condoms faster than i thought, and had no baloons so plastic bags for plugs it is!  what a mess... hope that degreaser works!  DIE DIRT DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!!  DAMN... still dirty (i got gipped  ).... will re do again tomorrow, and get some engine brite.... next.... getting the face of the H2O pump off and hanging the timing belt and throwin the valve cover on! and HOPEFULLY the O-ring and gasket for the oil pump is a match!
