Part boxses are Golden.

Just a quick FYI. Two of my header bolts broke off and ended up being an absolute nightmare and a common one. I bought every single bolt releaser there is and ended up towing the car to a machine shop. The headers are sweat though. I went with ebay units and they worked great. Lined up perfectly

Have had a lot of experience with undoing stuck and busted bolts. I worked my way through college as car and motorcycle restorer for a private collector, my last go-round was pulling cracked full Ti bolts for a customer. When I was done you could not tell that I had done any work on the part.

Missing bolt part (999-072-009-09), can't wait to see the hack-up work that has been done in the past.

Need to pull intake for transmission to clear, replace with Pedro's mod on his website.

This is an interesting fact as I was also missing the same bolt on my 98'. Wonder if this is common.

My manufactured by Yugo shift linkage is in very bad shape, going to see if I can have new ends made.

I'm inspired by what you and others on this board are capable of doing to your engines! Thanks for posting your progress and pictures.

Getting stuff organized for tomorrow.

Man, after all that hard work just looking at all the hard work...I need a couple good old cold beers. Keep em' coming...gota go and get a case or two just to cover the rest of your post. :cheers:

WoW! Great work kashmir! I was going to suggest we do some of the work together but you are WAY TOO ORGANIZED! Not bad but I work like a "cave man" compared to laying out your tools - like a surgeon! Care to operate on an 02 S, doctor?

Replaced the Porsche/Yugo shift ends with DIY ones.

Lock flywheel with big zip tie.

Use hand impact to help loosen bolts.

Then use breaker bar to undo bolts, then remove flywheel.
