Alright well my list of repairs on the ex are as follows:
alignment, replace the squeaking belt, replace the timing belt guides (rattle around 2500-3000 RPM noticeably), front and real pinion seals leaking along with a new one where rear drive shaft enters trans, I think the rotors and brakes are pretty worn, and it idles a little rough so I think the IAC needs cleaning. I plan on draining all of the fluids from the diffs and trans this spring or summer too.
First off how tough of a project is it to replace the bearings and seals that are leaking. The trans has been downshifting a rougher than normal some and I think it may be a little low on fluid.
I have been waiting for the temp to get out of the teens to do all this but maybe it can't wait any longer.
Any help or tips are greatly appreciated, thanks.
