53715, How does satan pull out the 4" bolts for the timing belt change?
Posted by ez, Jun-23-03 11:58 AM
Just wondering if any of you have witnessed how they do it. Obviously they aren't drilling holes from the wheel well... and it'd be sad if they do it our ghetto-ass way - rasing a jack under the oil pan and angling the engine so that you can thread it through those two metal a/c compressor lines.

Are there any holes in the wheel well for getting out those 4" bolts? The space on the passenger side of the engine is not even 2" x(

That's exactly how they do it. Ghetto would be drilling a hole in the frame rail to accept the bolt.

Yeah man, you gotta tilt the engine up so it's like this \
...and I can't remember exactly, but I think I had to go over those lines to get the bolts out.

No... the stress will be on the motor mounts and won't hurt them. You have to loosen them though.
