I loaded up this morning for the usual commute and cursed the Jeep as it completely failed to start. The <500 mile old fuel pump was grinding like crazy.
I am not a happy jeep owner today
Rounded out one of the stupid e torx bolts on the bell housing. The person that decided that those were a good thing to use anywhere, let alone the top of the bell housing would not want to be near me right now
Tomorrow I am going to try break the bell housing so I can finally get the old transmission out and change the flexplate. I do have another transmission to put in, I am just not sure if I can get anything up in there to crack the housing.
There will be no e torx put back in if I ever get the old one out
I honestly don't know. It was an eBay special because I needed it fast. It's now making noises like a dying cow.
Looks like the next one will be a crown, but on 10 days delivery.

If you can get one, a Bosch is your best bet, they are a bit pricy, but after you change out 3 or 4 of the cheap ones in a year or so you will wish you spent the extra money. Carter is probably the second best choice behind Bosch (Delphi or Denso aren't bad options either).
I messed with the mother of all heater core clogs. She won today. This is a two day job. I'll be back in a couple days to play with her some more. It's still
Clogged but I did get it of it out. Tons really. Thank you PO

The trick to those bolts is to remove them first (and use a T-socket), also make sure your supports are not causing binding.
I have drilled the head off the top bolt before, after transmission was out the leftover stud unscrewed easily.
Maybe use a left turn drill bit.
