okay, i see now. yeah, cutting off that clamp is probably gonna be the easiest way of removing it. that hose looks really tied down as in the clamps appears to be really on there pretty tight.

i know with nissan’s VQ motors, as long as the VQ motor was from a FWD nissan, within the same generation, it could be swapped around. the nissan quest, altima, and the maxima all have the same motors, but with slightly different HP/TQ numbers.
with the displacement, i would imagine you would need the 5.2L since the 5.9L is considerably larger and might run into clearance issue. i know eric did an engine swap of a Ram or a Dakota. can’t remember.

yeah when working with audio installs, you gotta always disconnect the negative terminal, even when it comes to something as simple as installing a satellite radio antenna

do a transmission flush asap. i don’t think any fresh fluid is ever black to begin with. if you wait too long, the fluid can turn bitter and hard and turn into sludge.

posting up a video will definitely be a great help in visualizing the situation.
you can buy torches at home depot or you can drill out that bolt on the valve cover gasket. you can try making a groove on the bolt to see if you can get it to budge.
and with the clamp, it really sounds like you might have to cut it off. a pair of dikes should be able to snip off the clamp.

[quote=”Crystalof9″ post=55641]The problem is the hose clamp. It’s on there really tight. I can’t get right up where I can see it, but that clamp will just not loosen. Should I cut the hose away, then just start prying at it? I do have a pair of pliers that I bought for the fuel filter. Maybe I can try those on both the bolt and the clamp? Not so worried about the bolt anymore, but I can’t drive the van with that hose….especially now that I’ve split the other end. I just don’t want to break something else, and I HAVE to drive it come Monday morning.[/quote]
what is that picture of? there’s so much grease around the area that i can’t make out the image. i thought you shattered the clamp off? if not, you’ll have to cut the clamp out then. a dremel could do this
