The plan was to raise the engine, replace the pan and at the same time the motor mounts. We got the engine up and remove all but the 4 of the pan bolts. The heads on the back four bolts were rusted and I could not get them out. It looked at first like we were going to have to remove the engine from the boat and use a bolt extractor.
I did some searching on the Internet and discovered "Turbo Sockets". Sears sells them so Randy is going to get a set and we will see if we can get these last four bolts out.
We went ahead and replaced the engine mounts and I've ordered some fuse holders and will clean up the alternator wiring once we change the pan and have the engine back in place.
What are we gonna do when Sears closes its doors for the last time… Such great tools.
ReplyDeleteHows our furry little friend doing?
Use the internet - noticed that the Sears tool was not the same as the Turbo socket that I found but it worked pretty well anyway.
