I successfully lifted the motor out of my 3 the other day, but
managed to hang it up on the accelerator linkage shaft that crosses
the transmission just aft of the motor. So now that shaft is bent.
First, how the heck do I remove that thing?
Second, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to
straighten it?
I also, just yesterday, successfully lifted the body off the frame.
Sort of. It's now sitting on a small wood framework which is resting
on the frame -- I just need a handful of people to help me lift it up
to a more permanent storage area.
It was a little discouraging to look up from underneath the body and
see light shining through all the pinholes in the floors ..... of
course, I knew several weeks ago that I was going to have to replace
those. The amount of gunk and grime on the frame is also depressing
-- thankfully, one can buy a vast array of chemical cleaners at the
local auto parts stores!
