My in-bay Disassembly Sequence
1 Attachment(s)
FWIW, the attached MS Word document is the chronological series of steps I used to strip our '94's engine in the FD bay, down to the exhaust manifold. At the same time I was going for a LIM gasket replacement, I needed to change all 14 coolant hoses, and those steps are also mentioned in the sequence. Building back up was just the reverse of the tear-down.
Some of my references were to color-codes that are unique to my car. Don't know if it's useful, so take or leave it as you will. |
All that and more can be found in the FAQ thread stickied in this forum. You know the one that all the newbies are too lazy to read. :)
