Daihatsu Copen Engine Overhaul

Fiddling The head cover is open.

First, I drained the coolant, engine oil, and transmission oil, removed the bolts from under the sway bar and strut, shook the angle of the hub to pull out the drive shaft, and pried the drive shaft off the transmission side with a crowbar.
