...And the BaT comments on this one are pure gold! "“There is a crack on the driver’s side front fiberglass fender” That is the only one. All other crack was used up during the construction process""

If "Macho Man" Randy Savage came back as a car, this would be it.

Try soaking the stubborn and broken bolt with Kano Kroil. And I mean really soak them and let them sit for a couple of days. After that, try heating up the area around the bolts with a propane torch (go easy here), and just keep working to remove. The bolts are surrounded with oxidation.

Try splitting the cover off of the pump body, 5 and 1. That's probably where the stuck bolt is stuck.

Same boat. I’ll be tearing mine apart to do bushings and joints over the summer. Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you 🙂 I am dreading the spindles! Mine also has clunking and I landed on the technoversions mount instead of the strap. Haven’t seen any bad issues with it other than getting the correct amount to cut the bushing is sometimes a pain. But if the diff is off the car it’s cake.

Oh yeaaaah!

My vote for "only a mother could love" thread. Wow, it's fugly.

I have seen descriptions of it being done. You have to put the number one cylinder in a certain spot so that you can get the pan past the counterweight. But rod bearings don't go bad quickly on these engines. If you have rod bearing problems there's probably a lot more wrong that needs fixing. You didn't say what car you're working on. Good luck.

Looks like somebody put a lot of work in to it. Why not the last piece though? Makes no sense! "400ci Chevrolet V8 is equipped with a Holley Stealth Ram intake and throttle body, sequential-port fuel injection, an electric cooling fan, an engine-compartment fuel pressure gauge, a Harwood plastic fuel cell, and a remote battery mounted in the trunk.......Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ram clutch and a Tremec six-speed manual transmission." and an R180.

WT...! I wasn't sure if this should go here, or in the Zeds only a mother could love thread, but I picked here. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-datsun-260z-54/
