Insert clever tagline here

Spent some more time in the garage on Saturday.

Played around with my magnetic can coozy…

With some creative use of zip ties and the loaner Chrysler Harmonic Balancer Puller from AutoZone we were able to take the crank pulley off. That is the best pic I have of the pulley and the puller, we basically used the zip ties to keep the jaws of the puller tight against the pulley so it wouldn’t try and squat which would make it slip off.

Removed Cam Gears and removed all the plastic shielding also started taking apart the old tensioner

We also had to get creative with a steering wheel puller and the bolts from the coil pack to remove the sprocket from the crank

oil pump, water pump, tensioner, and idler pulley removed (that’s most everything)

I had to stop there, since the dealership was closed and I didn’t have the anaerobic sealant required for the oil pump install. I picked it up after work the other day and I’m going to start reassembly this week/weekend. Slowly getting there.

I used this oil pump how-to: HOW-TO: Remove & Install Oil Pump its extremely difficult to read, but it has all the info you need to get the job done.

I also polished the AGP logo on my turbo heat shield and played around with a fish-eye lens adapter I borrowed from a friend.
