WAGON_BOY Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 replacing the dump pipe is a bitch......... couldnt get to the top 3 bolts i read some of you dropped the gearbox to get access??? the universal joint on the extention wasnt helping at all so im gonna try and get a kingchrome ball joint and see how i go..... that should work better for the bolt closest to the gearbox but there's no room beside the rail/skirt/firewall to get one in and havent even tryed the middle bolt............. do you have to remove the oxygen sensor before or after the dump pipe is off. im guessing if i drop the gearbox about an inch that should give me better access ??? cheers, Theo.

Sunkist Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 undo em completely.. when your lowering the box just keep an eye on the atteza pump line at the back of the box...

Dunc Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 undo em completely.. when your lowering the box just keep an eye on the atteza pump line at the back of the box... We did it on a hoist, so we had a support directly under the gearbox, undid the cross member and then just raised up the car slowly; but yeah - same principle (in reverse) I guess Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337039-m35-dump-pipes-again/page/12/#findComment-5743593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Haha, I told you to call. Drop the Attesa line and the 4 cross member bolts then lower the box nearly all the way, it can come down quite a few inches. Undo the o2 first. A universal on two long extensions with a half inch breaker works well on the nuts, and plenty of wd40. You may need to trim a bit off the two lower studs if they are too long, and don't over tighten the nuts too much doing them back up. I usually run an M10 x 1.25 tap through the nuts just to clean them up first.

zei20l Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 dont forget to remove the tailshaft from the back of the gearbox. also undo the first attesa line mount. it will give you a little more room to drop the back of the trans down. also pop the bonnet as the motor will move a bit and i dont know how much clearance is under there Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337039-m35-dump-pipes-again/page/12/#findComment-5743620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAGON_BOY Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 alrighty then i'll drop the tailshaft and box tomorrow and it should be sweet...... i just didnt want to play around with it cos reading through this post people had said they done it without dropping it i sorta cracked the sh!ts when i could only turn the bolt 1/6th of a turn each time ahwell got my throttle body cleaned out tho Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337039-m35-dump-pipes-again/page/12/#findComment-5743658 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAGON_BOY Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 im gonna get myself one of these....................... went to every carjoint to find one but they only sold them in socket set packs and wasnt gonna waste $300 just for that so gonna try a toolshop tomorrow damn them for not being open on a sunday LOL the standard uni joint seems to bind up cos of the harsh angle and they dont sell them with the spring around them anymore FFS Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337039-m35-dump-pipes-again/page/12/#findComment-5743700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Wont work, too big to get in there. (or my sidchrome one is anyway) The universal works well, perhaps it is just loose? Sometimes they bind, (especially when old) just move it 1/4 turn and go again. If you run a tap through the nuts they just spin on so its easier next time. Don't let it beat you mate.

zei20l Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I have never touched the tailshaft mate. Easier? it doesnt let the trans move down as far while its still conencted. i think we dropped andys around 6-8 inches. with a uni joint and a big ass breaker bar, we got the top nuts off easily.

scotty nm35 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I do the least amount of work possible, and if I don't need to drop the tailshaft, I wont. You love pulling engines out Craig.
