dat521gatherer Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 that sucks about your hood. here how about i help you out with a pic. the pin you want to remove is held in by a small black roll pin that looks like this but about half the size. you'll see it on the top of the aluminium housing. it's a pain to get out. i usually use a tiny drill bit and pound it out or a tiny allen wrench and pound it out. welcome my friend.:) Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 nobody moves anything on this site trust me. nice headlight things i dont suppose they have a brand name stamped on them anywhere? i personally would have kept the hooks.:D Quote Link to comment

willey878 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 i broke the aluminum peice that the pin slides thred trying to get it out now what the hell do i do? change the tranny? if i habe to change the tranny would a 4 speed from a 1979 Datsun 210 work? Quote Link to comment
willey878 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 wow my spelling sucks:( Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 i'm sure there is a ton of those 4 speeds sitting in member's back yards. post in the wanted section for that piece. you'll have to take the eight bolts off the tail and the 1 big nut to the drive shaft flange and slide the rear tail back about 4 inches or so to replace that piece. or as the book refers to it as the rear extension.. i dont know if you can do that with it in the truck. maybe if you support the trans and remove the mount and cross member. i dont remember if the cross member is removable or not. ok i just looked and it's not removable. you still ma be able to undo the tail and mount and slide it back far enough to remove that piece. you might just end up pulling the whole transmission out. i dont know if i'd have that piece welded up. i hear welding aluminum isn't easy. try to find that piece or another 4 or 5 speed to swap out. you think your spelling sucks. cheiit.:lol: Quote Link to comment
willey878 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 do u know what that peice is called? ya i was thinking of just swaping in a whole other trans if i cant find the peice but i dont wana have to shorten the drive shaft or make a new crossmember. is ther any other vehical modles that would have the same kinda tranny i know for a fact that thers no other 521s at any of the local junkyards Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'd move it but it's more of an introduction thread...You could start a project thread, of course being that it's a truck if fit's in this forum too :D Maybe we need a 'Hi, my name is' sticky...? Quote Link to comment
