pulling engine
I am pulling to do some mods and am wondering if the drive shaft is balanced and should be marked to the flex plate .
Does it have to exactly line up as it came out ?
This is an A4 car?

No, but you'll see 2 plugs on the bottom side of the tube that your supposed to pull and screw in bolts to support the torque tube when you seperate it from the flexplate, if you fail to do this the torque tube will drop down and be a real PITA to line up when you put it back together. :cheers:

I saw the 2 plugs and they look fairly small, maybe -8 or -6, I'll check the service manual when I get home and see if it says what size and thread bolts to use.

Re: pulling engine (blktie8)
Sorry it took so long to respond, the bolts needed are 1.5 X 55 mm and the manual says to torque them to 26 ft. lb. which sounds kind of strange, I thought they would just be tightened enough to touch the inner shaft and thats it.
