Milwaukee is awesome, both their hand tools and power tools. My M12 ratchet is one of my favorite tools.

I've been really happy with the Doyle pliers from HF. However, my Channellock dikes are my go-to. They've held up phenomenally compared to the HF Quinn pair they replaced.

A friend and I got the engine back in today after work, finishing putting it back together tomorrow!

Also I have to say those flywheel bolts were no joke.

Flywheel bolts are always fun... gotta torque 'em down real good!

As for removing them, a good long breaker bar or impact always does the trick.

Finally got around to changing all the cam seals and front main seal on the c70. Took about three hours. Still runs great, and no more oil leaks from the engine. Now to seal up the transmission....

Cracked all the front subframe bolts and rear delta link bolts in prep for taking car to scrap metal yard.

18mm hex on the subframe and 18/17 rear

Harvested two great frame hooks from subframe too

Identified a massive coolant leak at the water pump, looks like the wagon is going to be out for a week until my mechanic gets the parts in and can do the repair.

Mocked up the STB for my '97 854 (and one for the wife's 855).

Finally assembled the AC components and started the vacuum down procedure. I had to bend the drier neck to accommodate the AC line for the compressor. It's the rein brand drier if anyone else finds themselves in a similar position.

Ditto that, I had a similar problem with fitment

Got the car back together tonight! Did the dual mass flywheel, clutch/pressure plate, internal slave cylinder, a hydraulic clutch line, harmonic balancer, and replaced the right drive shaft and alllll the seals. It really drives like a new car, such a rewarding feeling
