Pulled Lawso's engine out.

Hand made a horn contact plate assembly & got the horn working on my car (its never worked, my boss didn't come with the plate) Now 1 step closer to being engineered :)

Then blew a rear main seal on my gearbox. It drained itself on the driveway :facepalm2:

It always the way, 1 step forward, 2 steps back :x

Use the brace to your advantage, I used to put my toolbox behind it so it wouldn't slide around when I corner :lol:

Not too bad a job, its just a seal, Locally Mitsi dealer had the part (MD755526) for $15 bucks.

Just gotta drail the box oil (or whatever's left of it) pop the shaft out, pry out the old seal, punch in the new the pop the shaft back in & refill box. Bout an hours work I spose.

I have a feeling its my fault thats its let go too, I think I may have damaged it when I pryed the shafts out the last time when I did the steering rack replacement.

I was somehow convinced that the rear main seal was such a big job.

Shot seal on the left

Image

Guess what's the perfect size to press the new seal back in with? Timing belt tensioner :cheers:

Image

Finally removed the disc rotor dust covers (oven doors)

Image

Painted up the calipers.

Image

Also pulled the lower control arms out & re-lubed up all the bushes, they were at that dry squeaky stage.

Then pulled the steering wheel off again to get it straight & fix the f**king indicator cancellor thingy :lol:
