You might want to disconnect the drive shaft. I know its not an auto, but I still have heard some rough stories.


Sounds like a really fun trip.

[redrocket]

when do you plan on getting in to town to pick up the car?

[200sxkitcar]

Definitely disconnect the driveshaft, its four easy bolts, should be 12mm wrench for the center bolts and 14mm wrench for the bolts at the differential, and if its not a manual then you'll need a long screwdriver or the lug wrench with the pointy end to jam in the driveshaft u-joints to prevent them from spinning while you are loosening.  Only use a regular wrench, ratcheting wrenches won't fit.  The differential bolts are the ones that you should remove, then bring some tie wire with to tie the driveshaft up out of the way.

I LEFT AT 4, and got home at like 230 am lol

why disconnect the driveshaft? oops/

well, i got the car in my garage

yea sorry red rocket, i came and went. i wanted too see your s12!

[redrocket]

Yeah Im sorry I wouldnt have been able to show it to ya anyways during the week I live in greensboro, NC with some friends but on the weekends Im in Goldsboro. The shop where you picked up the s12 (aka Corky) is right down from mine where my car is. its not much to look at right now its filled with parts and has no motor. you could hae seen the cage at least thats about it.

[200sxkitcar]

You disconnect the driveshaft so you don't fuck up the trans.  Too late now, hopefully its not a problem

[David B]

picture dump!







OEM FUCK YEA







i think it will start tonight


and thank you jaidseye,
for this thing, it HELPS


gas was a bitch though

it was about 180
oh, and we used a 16 foot trailer,
so i guess the driveshaft is fine

[Redneck]

Too bad jaidedeye sold his 12. But atleast it went to another cs12 member. Interior looks kinda rough but overall the body looks pretty straight. And the black dash is a big plus.

[David B]

ruff? the interior is perfect,


i dont want the rear interor, the rest needs to just be cplted back together

[David B]

how do i releive the timing belt tension?

[bluke1]

its in that book, the tensioner is located by the water pump. you need a star headed wrench or socket. loosen the star bolts and that relieves the tension. the book will also tell you how to set the tension when you put the belt back on...

[David B]

the book says that there is bolts, but i cant really get the loose,

hmm.i spin the bolts left? take them off.
do i do anything before that?

[mr200t]

ladies and germs theres no need to disconnect the shaft. neutral position works just fine. i towed an auto notch from philly a while back with the prndl in n the whole way. 80s tech isnt that far advanced, remember! lol way to go on the pick db. good luck

[bluke1]

i know you like pics, so here it goes (my motor is a ca20e, not sure if that is what you have, but same principal for most tensioners)

star head wrench



loosen both bolts (counterclockwise, or if your english, anti-clockwise) loosen both a couple turns, do not need to remove either bolt completely





that will relieve tension on belt. the fsm says to reinstall you need to align the belt and rotate the motor a couple turns and then retighten both bolts, which will set the correct tension.

[jaidedeye]

Too bad jaidedeye sold his 12. But atleast it went to another cs12 member. Interior looks kinda rough but overall the body looks pretty straight. And the black dash is a big plus.

yeah, brand new carpet, restored black dash, new black healiner and all new black interior trim.....yeah, real rough
