scaleless Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I recommend removing it - I managed to smash mine up pretty awful getting my BA10 out because I left it there.

(it makes a noticeable difference) Ill have to look into that. CPS is only thing I have left to unhook. Then I'm going to break the bolts loose so theyre ready to go tomorrow for the swap.

james-mc Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 Also how much does the ba10 and ax15 weigh individually? I only ask because I will have to haul them in my hatchback unfortunately. Ive read about 100lbs a piece but idk how reliable that is.
scaleless Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 4x4 AX15 is about 90lbs, and the BA10 feels slightly lighter than that. 2WD is probably a little heavier, so I bet your 100lb estimate is right on the money.
james-mc Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 Ok great. Theyre 2WD so id expect them to be a little lighter. Thanks I'm glad I don't have to go rent a truck lol.
OldManComanche Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 The 2 bolts on the top of the bell housing are a "PITA" and they have the star head to boot!

87MJTIM Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I have not tried a 12 point. Previously when I removed those bolts I throw them away and get hex head bolts
Jesse J Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 well yeah instead of buying an inverse torx use a 12 point get it off and then replace
scaleless Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 It's E12, and I don't recommend a 12-point - that sounds like a good way to start rounding the head! Inverse torx sockets are available from Home Depot, Lowes, and most auto parts stores. Also Amazon, of course, if you can wait 2 days.
james-mc Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 I seen that. I went and bought a set of torx (and inverse torx) sockets for it. I also sprayed some penetrating lubricant on the bolts again last night. I'm hoping that they arent too much of a pain. The guy i got the truck from replaced clutch roughly 3 years ago. I also went and bought a transmission jack just to be safe. Tomorrow I'm going to get this thing dropped and in the evening a friend of mine is gonna come help get the new one in.

So hopefully they survive this job haha. If not my dad has a set of good ones i can pickup.

OldManComanche Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 If you strip the head of those, you are going to be in a "fix for sure" trying to get it out. I tried the socket trick with no success. Went to Harbor Freight and bought the socket set and have used 6 or 7 times now.
Jesse J Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 inverse torx is so gross like why on earth. Does it stop thieves from stealing your trans
james-mc Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 5 minutes ago, Jesse J said: inverse torx is so gross like why on earth. Does it stop thieves from stealing your trans I invite any and all thieves to come steal the transmission that's in it. Save me some work. 😂

james-mc Posted April 2, 2021 Author Posted April 2, 2021 Just my luck. Last owner swapped the torx for allen head. Off to harbor freight lol
james-mc Posted April 2, 2021 Author Posted April 2, 2021 Any advise for the CAT mount in the cross member? Looks like it could slide out. Also I leave the straps on the new slave cylinder when installing right?
AZJeff Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 On 4/1/2021 at 11:20 AM, Jesse J said: how? The Torx bit was developed by The Camcar division of Textron. It’s design is similar to that of a gear tooth (technically it’s an “involute spline”) and it spreads the fastener driving force over a larger area. The MAIN advantage is that the tools used to drive Torx fasteners last MUCH longer in a production line environment. So now you know....😉
