Progress on 60K Front

[idaeus]

I thought I'd share some progress with doing a front 60k, my first(thanks Phoenix project!). I am down to the CPS and crank seal. The CPS heads are sort of stripped, so I am working on teasing these screws out. Interesting, there was a mouse nest(a bunch of garbage, bones) down between the heads, from when the car sat for a couple of years before I bought it.

aww, he's kind of cute, but dead. i had to shopvac between my heads, it was a ton of small bones, fluff, and parts of my car (no doubt) it made a nest from.
