guibo question

[E30Gus]

I'm trying hard to understand this. In my experience the bolts coming from the tranny flange are press fit into the flange along with the balancer so I never had to hold a nut behind that area. All you have to do is line it up and then put the nuts on from the DS side. If yours are all "free" bolts and nuts, I don't know what to say...I've never seen that before. Is the tranny brace in the way at all?

Duddeee...if you have to then pull your driveshift back out and take off the damn shield. Its simple. 3 bolts hold the driveshaft to the guibo and the other 3 from the guibo to tranny flange.

right i understand the concept..its getting a tool behind there to hold the nuts on the other end of the guibo.lol

Does anyone else know what im saying. taking off the driveshaft isnt the solution. How do I get a tool back there to get a grip on the nut behind the balancer! lol

stop telling me to remove the driveshaft if I cant get behind it. Im just trying to tighten the bolt that fell out.lol

im probably pissin u guys off but its really hard to get the nut to stop spinning. Even if i want to get rid of the shoeld I have to hold down a bolt in the back. If i could do that i would have my shit all tight by now

pleeease help..ive got ony 1 bolt to tighten. Its the one that holds the driveshaft flange to the guibo..The nut is on the transmission side and the bolt facing the driveshaft.

We have tried open ended wrenches of many sizes..and other makeshift tools but its not tight enough to drive yet.

I did get my motor and tranny mounts done tho! this is the last piece.lol

so ive been trying for 2 days now..really 2.5 and me and my boys cant get it. The balancer is in the way and the shield wont let any open ended wrenches hold the nut. We were able to get the bolt started on the nut with our fingers but I cant torque em down. Its going on 3hrs now!

Any suggestions on what to use between the transmission and the back of this STUPID shield??

[JRector]

Let us know how it goes.

Just take off the cover..loosen up your two bolts that hold your carrier bearing and slide the diveshafter a little farther up to makeup the difference and put it all back together.

true..thanks again. ill be putting it back together tmrw

Thanks

got it. my new bolt and nuts will be in monday. when i was under there i also noticed my damn tranny mounts were sooo messed up. motor mounts 2.lol always somethin

I would remove the balancer like others have said. However that won't make up for the spacial difference created by removing the balancer, might loosen the csb to allow the driveshaft to move forward.

[JRector]

Use an open end 17mm wrench.

oooh okay...so with mine, if i just undo the nuts, i can pull the driveshaft out?

i mean what if i go to take off the nuts and the bolt starts spinning behind the guibo balancer/shield?lol how the hell do i get to that??

when i tried loosening the bolts in the pic, i couldnt get to the nuts so i left it free with broken tension. Huge mistake.

Take it a apart again and attach the GUIBO to the DRIVESHAFT first. Once that is done then connect the assembly to the transmission. If the tranny side bolts are spinning, get behind there with a wrench to hold it.

Attach the Guibo to the driveshaft first then attach the guibo+driveshaft to the transmission...
