I have a creme brulee torch. Does that count?

I plan to blast the bolts for a week straight leading up to this. We will be fine.

but how do you know whats gonna take longer than what when you've never done this before

exactly... some cars (like mr. madwi) were easy, some were not, like mine.. I had 2 demon belts from hell, that took a looooooong time to get off, and that was after cutting one of the cats out..

I've removed my exhaust before. Was painless. So do that while also removing cats can't be much more adventurous. Intakes look fairly straight forward. Cooler is the only thing concerning me.

I can do all the prep work and blades then beforehand. Be setup and ready to go for the weekend.

You'll be fine dude. And seriously. If we run out of time. I just pack up the remainder and go home. It's not a big deal. This is a mini vacation for me.

eastwest2300 · 04-12-2018, 10:27 AM

just trying to keep you in perspective mr. leingod... when we rush, we're likely to have problems.. I personally, do not wanna rush, we know you're excited, we get it.. but lets not get crazy with it..

No rushing at all. We get done what we accomplish. If things fail or look like it'll be an overnight ordeal. Then we pack it up and I take it to a shop for techs to deal with. I think with 3 competent people working, we will get things done in a timely manor and with limited issues.

if you could knock out the transmission flush and differential flush, you'll be doing yourself justice.. and if you happen to have any questions, you know you can reach out to us, we'll help you out.

I already ordered everything and will be doing it myself. No worries. That'll be taken care of beforehand.

I also picked up a few different bottles of penetrating stuff for the bolts. I will just hammer them to hell with liquid for a week straight. I plan to hit them 3 times a day for 7 days.

Leingod · 04-12-2018, 10:33 AM

I didn't know diff and tran fluids were that easy. Other than the allen key setup and using a pump. It's the same as changing oil. Use the pump like a turkey baster basically. Pump until full and all done.

Leingod · 04-12-2018, 10:34 AM

With me never having done it before, I will be shocked if it takes longer than an hour to do 1 of them.

eastwest2300 · 04-12-2018, 10:36 AM

its literally that easy... you may need a differential washer for the drain plug (I forget), I'd go to nissan and get one.. they're a dollar or two.. I'd buy a few. (Actually watch the video, and follow that to a T)

I just ordered a bulk set on Amazon. No worries.
