d16z6 to d15b swap questions

is it a direct swap?, I found a d15b at the scap yard for $100 and scooped it up as a replacement motor while I build my z6 or b16

last question: what is the proper way of removing an axle out of the tranny?, just pull it out or is there a special way?, also how do I reinstall?, just push back in bolt the boot down and pump full of grease?

any helps great

Good find on the d15b for $100 :thumb:
should be straight swap if it's Obd1 d15b

ya I'm hoping, it's either a good deal for me or him, there's no record of km's on it so I used that to my advantage on pricing
but it had a sticker on the valve cover saying "if sticker is removed it will void warranty date: 22/03/10... so I pulled that off so he would not see the date, could be a good sign :hehe:

any help with my axle question?

once the axle nut is off and that end is out of the spindle just give it a yank and the axle should pop right out of the tranny. make sure u drain it first or you are in for a bath :thumbdown:

that's what I've done so far, and just reverse to reinstall?

yes sir. make sure they are back in the whole way or the car wont go anywhere lol

also DO NOT FORGET TO REFILL TRANNY. that would be bad
