Sometimes in life we don’t always succeed in everything we do, but we pick ourselves up, learn from it, and keep trying. You were a blessing to your friend for giving it a try.
Great video Clint, there’s just so much you can do sometimes without a shop and all equipment. This shows people why mechanics charge so much sometimes. You gave it your best shot, good job!
Oh no! I am so happy you kept the video and taught others. Should people replace that bolt? Was it weak? Is it an inch-lbs torque spec or something? This was an amazing instructional video. I know someone is going to use this to make some monies :)
All I know is it was tight going back together and I couldn’t see it to tell if it was cross threaded or not. Just sucks all the way around but Sandlake auto said they can fix it and they will complete the job.
The dealer does this in 2 hrs by removing the transfer case and taking it out from the bottom - it's supposed to be much easier process from the bottom... you don't need to take out the exhaust manifold...
Its still a great video cant find much info on these. I just bought one and it has a rear main oil leak & im just going to remove the front end & remove the engine & transmission through the top im half way there.
As a mechanic AND turbo cx7 owner, a good mechanic always accept responsibility. That said this cars an absolute POS to work on in terms of clearances and tight fits. Forces you to use unconventional methods.

Your video saved me from serious shop $ Thanks
That’s awesome, don’t break that bolt off 🤣
I don´t like to go to the repair shop. But...I going to cry..trying to change this "god dammed turbo".
@@moisessan1 yeah if you got that awd model you might as well plan on pulling that ptu… everything is super close in there
