The old junk coming out only took about 2 hours to pull it out with out trying to rush the job..

Some of the damage I found when I pulled it... Anyone rag hard on the V6 lately... here's a new one for my to find broken.. I snapped the bracket that holds the steady bearing to the motor.. :S It fell to pieces when I unbolted it..
