Prop shaft taken out, fix, install back~ in a jiffy~

All and all, the next morning when i took the prop shaft down and only remember that i'm running a T50 from a 2T engine. Which means it had the same small coupling as a KE does~ ouch~!
 A slight comparison to the 'shoe' size~
 Out with the broken, and in the new. I was amazed how easy it was. Just take out the pin which lock the cap in, then gently (not really needed for it's broken, isn't it?)  remove the coupling cap from both side and you can take the + section out already. 
 Same way you would install it back, slot in the + section of the coupling then slide the cap in from both side. BE EXTRA CAREFUL  here for the bearing in the cap might fall off if you dun take cautious. 
 And a tiny-winy happening in the coupling cap until you can fit in the new clips. It's done~ 
And lastly, RIP my worn, torn, broken coupling~

Phew~ CNY is coming~ and mango is......


Finally, after long time of waiting coz he(ah heng)'s busy, he(mcguyver)'s busy, he(bro sham)'s busy, and i- was busy.So finally, after all the ordeal, today mango's finally got the heart back in.Or not yet??? yaiks~
 
Notice what wernt wrong with this pic??? 

The gasket wasn't aligned properly with the intake port.
Good thing Mcguyver had a spare 20V gasket lying around. and it look nicely fit now ^^
Was admiring mango's nicely curved 4-1 extractor. :P
And the newly painted T-50 gearbox with it's new paint, and some stain from the coolant.
But still, we were still waiting for the blacktop throttler body which i forget to bring from my factory..... so job stalled. Will continue tomorrow after i 'remember' to bring over the throttler body *_*.

gearbox in and running~

Finally, all the gears and bearings of my TE72's T50 gearbox was in place (thanks Heng for waiting me to took photos ;)) now it looks shinny and ready for a ride in mango again ^.^ high-rev style~!
all the pieces in place and ready for installation~
i never knew it was only a gear away from first gear and reverse gear. they share the same main gear~
close it up and test all the running before sealing it up with silicon gum.

all the bearing look nice and shinny ^.^ i love shinny metal piece lol~~
finally, back to where it belong, ready to transfer power from mango's heart into the rear wheels. (tips, dun ever put in gear oil which is thinner than 75/90, if you do so, your gearbox will be very noise~ metal cranking noise - LOUD~! ) i'm using toyota original 75/90 gear oil for it. works well for me, plus it's lot cheaper :P
new coupling was installed as well - no more noisy long shaft
Ah Heng installing back my bear nop and housing. He's one of the best gearbox specialist you an find in Penang and some say parit bunta~ lol~

ton's to do but so little $$$$ T-T

finally~ the wire was in proper order. all tidy and warp in thick tape. (thanks McGuyVer for all that work well done)
and the battery also had move to the back to reduce the front's weight.
front crocked bumper removed to make space for "possible" compatible bumper which i will install later.
and the aluminum air intake box which was suppose to be for open throtter also taken out and install back the original silver top air intake box with custom air reservoir at the pipe.

after all that only to find out that my front wheel bearing is worn and start making noise~ lot's of them..... T-T
so bearing change is in order~
use a piece of hard metal, (preferable absorber shaft :P) gently (at first) hit the bearing housing out from the disc hub.
then install the new bearing, there's two sizes, the big one in the inner and smaller one at the exterior. the AE86 bearing can be share with KE70's.
then fill in lot's and lot's of wheel bearing grease. and make sure there isn't any dirt around the bearing to make sure it will last..

After take mango for a few laps around the factory to let the new bearing run in. But still, i still can hear the humming noise coming under the car, so i ask my worker listen while i drive pass the factory, and they all conclude that the noise might be coming from the speed- gearbox (T50)
and i send mango to Ah Heng's place to had a check up, ah heng is the gearbox specialist in my place. And after a test drive, he conform that my gearbox bearing is a gonner as well.
my mango's T50 gearbox was taking a part to remove the bearing so we could order new bearing for him. 
At the mean while, i take a look at my TRD 3 spoke racing clutch to see if it's still in working condition. ^.^ it still looks fine to me (actually i dunno how to differentiate among good and bad cluches :P) 
And yet more bad news T-T the crash on last Kg Gajah trip might had chip-ed off part of mango's main-bone structure which is already rusted. .. which means more works to do.....
