the 98-99 are different from 00-02. i would like to see you get all of them from the top on a 98-99.

 

Well All I have to say is who ever designed and put the engine that far back into the car knew exactly what they were doing, I mean they did that to make more people go pay somebody to do it...Well today is the big day for the change Ima wait till it cools down a bit tho

 

That engine way back there is a cheif reason our cars have their great weight balance and center of gravity, and all the treats that come with it like steering response, braking, handlingand roadholding. We have better chassis dynamics than many newer and/or vastly more expensive cars, even with the live axle. And RWD!
Make sure to wear some mechanics gloves, no need for raw knuckles. Good take on removing a wheel. And while yr down there, check O2 wiring, etc for potential shorts, exhaust leaks, broke bushings and dust seals, and hoses, yada. May be time to go ahead and change plug wires. Or sway bar bushings.
