Almost. The rod with the nut & cotter pin is a tapered fit and has to be forced out.Here's a video of how to do it without messing up the boot on the tie rod.

Probably will come out when you pull the engine but it'll be a nightmare to get back in. If you haven't removed the tie rod from the spindle yet that should allow you to clear that last half inch

compression test would be advised

+1 on doing a compression test

Yeah I've been there on my FWD on the passenger side. I had to separate the tie rod to get the axle to clear the trans can't remember but I don't think i had to remove the sway bar link but it bolts to the LCA on a 1g. At that point I just...

Also the left axle has a carrier bearing bolted to the block that needs to be unbolted before it will come out of the trans.

1 1/4" will work also if you have that

I believe Mitsu has discontinued them however you can find them on Rockauto, Gates has never let me down and I would recommend them, I'd also recommend replacing both heater hoses if your doing 1 you might as well...

-Remove the cotter pin from the axle nut and unbolt the axle nut. -Unbolt the strut from the spindles (2 large 17mm bolts/nuts) -Slide the end of the axle out of the wheel hub.Now just take a pry bar between the axle cup and transmission and...

To be honest I have all the special tools and don't use any of them except the long rod to put tension on the auto tensioner, I use 2 zip ties, a ratchet and a flat screw driver, I screw the rod in until it's just putting a tiny bit of pressure...

Hello there guys, How you doin yall.Nice to know there is an international community out there. I recently bought a 1g Targa and built turbo engine, I love this car, runs smoothly, but like every other old car, i wanna collect all the...

I added an old air hose to the secondary timer, and piped it thru my wall to the outside. Here are the basic components. I added quick connectors that aren't on the list.myTouchSmart Indoor/Outdoor Plug-In Digital Timer, One Grounded Outlet...

You have a build thread for that? ROFLBut seriously if you ever have time to post up how you did it that would be awesome. I've looked into getting one but all the "factory made" ones I've looked at have bad reviews and then I back out of...

It is timing belt driven on the 420a

Not a put down but just to clarify for your future reference crankshafts get turned and/or polished. Milling is done to flat surfaces like head/flywheels/block decks ect.If you had the crank turned are you sure you are putting undersized...

It is extremely hard to tell from a picture. The bottom looks like it has a pretty deep groove on the left but that could just be the lighting.Does your car have a balance shaft delete? If so take a picture of the stub shaft. There's a bunch...

You can easily make 400 on stock cams. (Side note I'd stick with 350hp personally. 400 is pushing the limits of the transmission)Bigger cams make an engine less streetable. Best thing to do is invest the money in tuning software, then fuel...

Well you need the "primary boat" to get to "Air-fitting Island" and then once you're there you blow up your "air chair" to sit in and relax LOL

Thanks for posting this. Will be very helpful when I finally get around to getting my intake put on

I have a bitchin' cyclone manifold and I needed the torque specs for putting it back together after getting new gaskets for it. Found and translated these factory diagrams. NOTE that Torque values on the page are in kg/m. Converter here...
