You say down shift in an A3. Would down shifting an auto do anything if the motor is stopped?

Yes, I forgot to mention that!

I'd blast it with electric contact cleaner and use compressed air to dry it out with. I know some have used brake cleaner the same way, but I can't bring myself to recommend it.

The rubber ends are mounted with a taper. I don't know that rotational force will help. Think about a drill press or a milling machine. They have collets and morse tapers to avoid spinning out of the bore. If you can get some pressure on the threads and then jar it(from the other side) with a...

Yes, all the glow plugs are working, batts good. I got lazy and didn't put in the 5w40 before the COLD got here. It turns over too slow to light off right now. I brought home my h140 heater today, she'll thaw out soon enough!

Not sure how you would increase hp without effecting the tq. Id say rebuild- swap in new injectors first. A good air filtrr second. Then a 6.5 turbo setup.

My bad! Just back the nut to the start of the threads and whack it directly with your mallot. I have a piece of 2" round stock to use as an ext if needed.

We usually put a 2x4 against the frame and a splitting wedge against the threads (with the nut on to protect the threads) and whack it with a sledge.

Leash for the hamsters under the hood?

I probably have the cucv dual controller available if that would help.

Yous guys suck! Wish I could have made it.

I believe he is just pulling parts prior to the power pack right now. Never hurts to have inside info before diggin in

I have some 3 diameter correct type hoses

Good to see you checking in once-in-a-while!

It depends on where your trunion for the axles is. If its close to center of the load you may be ok. If its off by feet, I'd say no way.
