Any interest in a write up on how to change the starter on a Gen 1? I'm a pro.
Took it to the dealer after this pic
for a diagnosis he said its either an oil pan leak or transfer case leak
Looking into the difficulty could I do it myself with novice to moderate as my personal mechanic skills or should I fork over the money
If you pull the front diff with cross member you will have all of the room in the world to pull the pan.
On the bottom of the alt, there is a bolt that runs parallel to the belt, and another that runs into that bolt. Loosen the 2nd one, as that locks it in place, then start cranking on the 1st bolt. It's all 12's iirc.
The actual wires are a 10 and 12 (maybe 14). Don't forget there's 2 bolts on the front holding it to the bracket and one in back.

Anyone have a write up or have the ability to provide instruction on releasing fuel pressure if you've already FUBAR'd and removed the intake manifold / are to a point where the regular way is not an option? If instructions are provided, I can do the work and get pictures along the way for a detailed DIY. I sincerely doubt this will ever come up again, but still...
Backstory...
Mmmkay, so I'm a colossal moron. While doing a thermostat/waterpump/timing belt job, I found that my thermostat housing is cracked or something and leaking. Need to replace housing. Easy enough, right? Just remove the intake and get to the housing on the inside (under the intake) to get it out and replace it. So I started in on it... And then after I got to the fuel rail I realized the size of my SNAFU. Did not release pressure on the fuel system. So now my lower intake manifold is off and I need to release the pressure on the fuel rail. In my defense, I didn't know I'd have to do all this. Weak defense...
I think you are making a big deal out of nothing.
Loosen gas cap to make sure there is no pressure in the tank (guilty of this. Why is so much fuel coming out of this thing??? Ah, tank had some built up pressure in it; was a hot day)
Loosen hose clamp on fuel line at the filter, have a drain pan under it to catch whatever comes out.
Tighten hose clamp when fuel stops coming out
Tighten gas cap.
