IMS replacement; some technical questions
This weekend, I changed IMS bearing, clutch, RMS, water pump, thermostat, belt, and repacked CV joints.
I have 60K on my '01 S, and the IMS bearing looked brand new. Also, the clutch was a Sachs, with at least 60% left on it. Makes me think both were changed by the previous owner (I bought it with 40K).
Two questions: I need to secure the crankshaft in order to tighten the flywheel bolts. I used the pin in the front pulley to secure the crankshaft at TDC. is this pin strong enough to torque the flywheel bolts?
CV boots: the ones I got from Pelican were significantly smaller than the originals. Are there different sizes between the base and S models?
BTW, the tools supplied by LN Engineering worked incredibly! The actual bearing replacement took about 30 minutes.
