Thanks for the info. I may have access to this tool for free locally but if not wouldn’t it be easier just to replace with the nose cone form my other motor? Just unbolt and swap right?

How can you get the pulley off for replacement, it’s making noise. We tried a normal puller but had enough pressure on it the pulley started to bend. Do I have to buy a special tool or is there a simpler way? Tired of all my questions yet? I really do use the search function first but the right ...

Definitely the front motor mount.

I have removed a cradle before to replace a tranny in a 00 GTP and I have also taken the motor out of the top of the 00 GTP. Almost seems to me even though I’m ...

We can do our own repairs, luckily I have a friend with a lift, a lot of tools and knowledge (or I use to have a buddy). I may just want to fix and sell the car but don’t want to screw the next person. I want to fix it right. The car rides and drives great! Should I just replace with a used one ...
