Subject: Re: She's home! At least the heart and soul has returned home. by biggrizzly on 2011/4/22 23:43:33 Pete, I knew you were going to say this... as you are the ObiWon of transmissions. Well... let's see, I trashed the lines trying to get them out. Instead of forward thinking, and removing them before the engine went in... they got trapped and bent under the motor during engine installation. (I didn't notice this until the engine was in. Crazy I know. When removing them, I tried the gentle approach but it finally got pretty ugly by the time they were out. I guess I will need to get some new lines and do as you recommend. Although, the local Speed Unlimited sells a nice Teflon lined kit with fittings and enough line to do the job for about $150. It just seemed a lot easier to route the lines and tie them off with the metal wire ties or rubber insulated clamps. What kind of tool is required to flare the ends. I'll need to pick a bender and flare tool up. Thanks for the comments. I want to treat your baby good. Its so funny, but everyone that has come over to help me out has commented on how nice the paint job is on the transmission!!! LOL |
