With the NSX now sorted to the point of only minor nuisance, and with some tools now present at my house, I have started taking the MR2 apart.

The dreaded crank pulley bolt proved far less recalcitrant this time around.  I allowed myself a sigh of relief after it popped loose without breaking a socket or prying the car off its jack-stands.  I have also drained all of the fluids and removed the intake and exhaust so far.

Once I am back in town after a week in TX on business, I plan to really get stuck in.  I need to get the wiring un-sorted, and procure a gear-puller help remove the axle shafts from the hubs.  the front and rear engine mounts should follow, along with the rear cross-member.  With that stuff out of the way, it should be fairly straight forward (although I know it won't actually be) to drop the engine.

Watch this space for a few laughs as i make a complete hash of this :)
