i guess that depends on what the right tools are. i dont have a lift which sucks, but i have a good assortment of hand tools. i might just pay someone to do it. my shoulders and back are in rough shape, so its not something i should be doing anyways.

I have everything but a lift. The hoist and stand are ready but I spent 3hrs on it already and all I have left to do it disconnect the A.C. and P.S. then the mounts and its all out. Subaru is still easier though.

The p.s. bolt closest to the ex manifold broke when trying to take it out. It got white hot from the looks of it. 4bolts connect the p.s. to this bracket, how important is the 1 bolt? I think it's pretty seized in there. Even after using WD-40 before it broke it didn't get any easier. Used a 2ft breaker bar in the end lol.

So I just spoke to my tuner and he gave me some new info. He stated that it's not Likely that the bearing spun due to over heating. He stated that it's more likely due to an oiling issue. I know for sure that my oil was full but I am the 4th owner of this car so I don't know of any major abuse. But from the looks underneath, its been mudding a few times. Another thought is that I was in long turns at high speed and my oil pan and pickup are oem. It might have been sucking up air instead of oil in long turns at the track. If I plan on running it like this again I'm gonna need a AMS oil pan and pickup.

I have already installed an oil pressure gauge but not temp. The bad thing is that they are Auto Meter and do not give any warning like Prosport or Defis. And boost leaks test can only be tested by running it from what I can think of. The coupler that broke was riding against the rad shroud for what looks like a really long time. Fixed now though, day late and $4k shorter.
