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?

 

yeah change my timing belt would you please.

 

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

 

whats the procedure on that?

 

while your checking that make sure to check to make sure your ***** aint dry.

 

Wow someone is going to be busy all weekend! Good luck and I can't wait to see what it will look like afterwards!

 

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.

in any other context . . .

 

oil change?
general inspection of fluids, joints, brakes, et al

 

lol just realized what i posted. ***** "giggle"

 

[beavis] *****, he said ***** heheheheh [/butthead]

 

Okay...here something interesting.....a broken mount...holding on by one screw....anybody got a VE 5speed parts car????

 

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.



Also I noticed that the manifold appeared to have 2 gaskets on it. Is this normal?
