I’m beginning to take the engine out of the Avant as the first phase of a three engine rotation, the engine from my Silver S4 will be going into the Avant, the spare engine I have from the Nogaro that I parted over the summer will be going into the Silver car, and the Avant’s engine will be sold.

Progress will only get so far before I have to pause and wait on some more tools to arrive.  The passenger side axle bolt was apparently over-torqued, and my 1/2″ drive extension snapped trying to loosen the bolt.  I’ve got an order in for some 3/4″ drive tools to go at it again.
