My weekend project

Okay, tonight when I get home, I am going to clean my garage and arrange my tools so that I can work on the maxima...I plan to do the following...

1. Replace the front exhaust manifold studs
2. replace the downpipe (Y-pipe) stud on the rear manifold
3. Replace the driver's side axle
4. FINALLY install the Pacesetter STS that I've had in my sig "to be installed" for almost 3 years
5. Fix my fog lights
6. SeaFoam my intake
7. Clean/Replace the K&N on my CAI
8. Flush and fill the radiator (since I may have to take the hoses off to remove studs that could be broken)

CAn anyone think of anything else I should/could do with all of that stuff off the car?

While the axle is out make sure your wheel bearing is good.

That's a big list. As you'll be replacing much of the tranny fluid might as well check out it's condition, could give you a heads up.

Here's a pic of my exhaust studs. It appears that I have one missing, but the others appear new. It looks as if the others have already been replaced, and they left this one out , probably because of difficulty.
