Just like the topic says, im 99.9% sure that I have all the nuts/bolts out of it but it just doesnt budge. Ive tried giving her some love taps with a rubber mini sledge but it just doesnt move. Anyone else had similar problems? Ideas? Suggestions?

 

i had the same prob... it ended up beid 2 hidden nuts in the notches up on the bottom of it if thats not it then in clueless

 

Ive taken a grand total of 5 bolts and 2 nuts off of the lim, did I miss one? Also normally I wouldnt post such an easy question but I cant find it in the fsm. I remember someone posted a link to the tsb about the paper LIM>motor gasket and that had all the nuts and bolts on it but I dont remember where that link went.

 

The new "latest and greatest" gaskets are metal, about 3 thin layers worth riveted together. Sounds like you got all the hardware out- are the ports holding you up?

 

Ports? As in 6ports? If thats what you mean its a turbo. Hopefully thats not what you mean and I have overlooked something

 

smack it.

 

kenteth your advice has inspired me, my sledge arm just twitched with anticipation.

 

Ah, turbo, sorry

Yeh, smack it!

 

Hah so the problem was that rubber sledge was getting laughed at by 17 years of crust, 20oz hammer did the trick jussssst right Thanks for the help

 

told ya, you just have to smack old gaskets around, they usually have formed to become part of the block after a decade and half or so.

 

try to pry it. stick a screwdriver between LIM adn block adn try to pry it out. that adn teh rubber malet should be able to get it out,
