i had a bitch of a time with those lock nuts Danomite is talking about.



if i remember tomorrow morning (afternoon-ish) i'll email you those pages from the FSM. it's relatively straightforward. I haven't re-installed an engine with the trans still attached, but pulling the engine and trans at the same time seems to work pretty easy with atleast 2-3 people. one underneath the car supporting the trans (usually me) and the other one or 2 guiding/checking the clearance on the engine against the firewall and watching the various fittings you don't want to break during the process.



wiring harness- as long as everything was working fine before the removal, you shouldn't need to replace it. re-taping is and wrapping it wouldn't hurt though. when we pulled my engine, i just unplugged the engine harness from the ECU and pulled it thru the firewall grommet. I plan on re-covering it while my engine is out. IIRC, someone did a write-up on the material they used for this particular project and it worked great. more on that later.



also, i haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but you might as well upgrade your clutch/flywhell right now while it's easy, especially if you plan on runinng more horsepower down the road
