Man, what have I done? Oh, and hello! (2 Viewers)

Started out with the idea of changing timing belt and pulleys etc. Well it turned in to much more. Seems the evaporator and compressor need to be replaced as well as dropping the tranny for rear main seal. While down there I figured what the hell I ought to replace cv driveshafts and bushings to front differential. Then I figured man mist everything needs fixing at 350k miles. I’m a new member here so wish me luck lol. Thanks.

This will be done probably after spring break. Ordered the part today that repairs the “infamous “ incision needed in dash to remove evap.

Got the evaporator and compressor in. Dropping the tranny later to do rear main seal. Gotta get a 21mm flare nut wrench for the tranny cooler lines first. I THINK ITS 21mm, ANYONE CAN ANSWER THIS?

If you are going to do this in a normal/small garage, god bless you. All for a 12$ o-ring.

You know it, that was what was leaking. Gonna be hell I think getting this back together. Feel like I’ve been worked over by a 2x4

I do feel for anyone that attempts this lower reseal without the engine being upside down.
