bathcollector Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I too thought these all ran S.U electric pumps down the back by the gas tank ?? My Estate and sedan both do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 From about '73 they went to a mechanical pump and alternator. (and inboard CV's instead of the rubber cross joints) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdash17 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 was bidding on a hayes manual until i got outbid and it would help me out so so much if one of you guys did come round would mean the world to me! hopefully it is a clutch problem because im guessing a diff and a gearbox wouldnt be cheap to fix , can the clutch be done without removing the engine ?

mo999 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yes clutch can be done in place - you do need a special puller for the flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostchips Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 But are you sure you'll need a diff' & gearbox? Might be something simple to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdash17 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 i dont know what else it could be , axle are fine clutch is fine everything else is good just doesnt drive lol , i got told when the diff goes in one of these it throws shit into the gearbox iswell so yeah , wouldnt really know what it is until i get the engine out and inspect it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Also remember that the gearbox/dif share the oil with the engine, be prepared for a crankshaft grind and bearings as well! (Just ask GuyWithAvaiators ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 You can get special sockets to remove locking nuts. http://www.thetoyshop.co.nz/the-tool-co-product/locking-wheel-nut-remover-2pc?i=1016&c=1041 Can you get a vice-grip onto it? Or hammer a junk socket over the outside. If you have a welder, weld a nut onto the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdash17 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 if i cant find a socket that welding a nut thing sounds like my next bet , the nuts and sunk into holes in the wheels so cant really grab onto it with anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ball Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Back in the day we used to get people that would drop their cars off to be worked on and piss off to the airport expecting the car fixed and finished when they got back from holidays. and 9 times out of 10 theyd have no mag wheel key lock with the car...... heres a tip that sometimes works well. undo all the other wheel nuts (relieve all tension) be sure no weight is on the wheel obviously. next. Do all the wheel nuts back up. extra tight. this can then remove tension/pressure from the lock nut thread. Then depending on the wheel and the nut in question use vise grips or multi grips to undo the lock nut. Or tap an old socket over it and undo. This used to work about 70-80% of the time. Just be wary not to snap the other studs by going too crazy over tightening. In some cases we sprayed a little rp7 or wd40 etc around the lock nut to assist. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If the other suggestions don't work (some locknuts are designed so that no normal socket or wrench can get enough grip) get a socket that fits over it very snugly.. Then fill it with bog before ya smack it back over the nut. Use an old rachet without the ball detent release thing (you will fuck it) and keep the ratchet on the socket when you put it on so all the bog can't escape. Wait for it to set hard.

Seedy Al Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 What was meant to be the problem with the drive line? Did you try driving it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 That's a sweet looking engine crane there champ I'm still guessing it's a linkage issue but will wait for your next update(s) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdash17 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 wasnt actually sure what the problem was with the driveline , you would turn the car on then pit it into gear(not needing to use clutch) and it would just start being louder and shaking but not going anywhere and not moving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbtimr Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yea my guess would be linkage too - everything was turning as it's supposed to when we fiddled with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ball Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Mate. Grab a manual either in hard form or pdf. Read up on what to do and how to do it. .....then. do it. Best way to learn is to have a go yourself. And if it doesn't work well all you've lost is some time (and pride if that actually bothers you.) You can always part it out after if you have no luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
