Watch close for all the bolts,even the ones hidden under the road grime,grease or build up.Alot of people have missed a bolt before and kept prying and SNAP!!!! youll need a new one. :eek2:
You've got Aluminum with steel bolts so galling is usually pretty bad. Best apply a lot of caution and go slow. One of the more accepted techniques is to get a torch and heat up the bolts before pulling. A lot of penetrating oil is a good idea too. Once they're ready try to "shake" them loose rather then foring them, on-off-on-off with the socket will have better results than going at `em with a snipe. If youhave acces to an airgun, set it at the lowest torque and move up. Best of luck!
No, I'm not there, yet. On the words of caution, I'm making a cardboard template to make sure I get all of the bolts. I'm going to wait until next weekend: 1) My parts place doesn't stock the chain set. They'll have it Monday. and 2) JR in the Houston Buick club is going to help me. I'm concerned about getting everything apart and then finding out I have to drop the pan like the instructions say. I don't have an engine lift, but JR does.
OK, I looked back at earlier posts and saw posts from Yardley and Brad Conley that say you can do it without dropping the pan. So, here goes....
