ok so i went to my friends house so i could use his ramps and planned on
1) changing my oil/oil filter
2)doing a dump and fill
3)changing the fuel filter
1) I could not get that nut off. My friend had a cordless impact wrench that he used on his car, but it wouldn't fit (it was hitting something connected to the driveshaft I think). So we got a wrench, put it on the nut, and tried to hit it with a hammer to loosen the nut. All that accomplished is stripping the nut (slightly I hope). Any tips?? Also, if the nut is stripped where could I get a replacement and how much would it cost??
2) The nut on the tranny takes some type of square bit that I did not have. What do you guys use for that??
3) I could not get that second clip off of the filter. I did not read your post close enough Squishy and I did not see that you warned of this. I was using pliers I think, but now that I think about it I should have used a flat head screwdriver to pry the clip off.
Then, because my friend and I were feeling thoroughly dejected, we attempted to seafoam my engine, but the brake booster line was connected to this little brown plastic thing that wiggles, and I could not get the line off because I was afraid of ripping the grommet off the booster.
All in all, it was a wasted morning.
