This is Daox posting for xpedro01. I'm on his mailing list for email updates on the project and I asked Tom if I could share. He agreed, so enjoy!

============================

The power train still in the car. It took me a week to remove it.
There was always another connecter to unhook. The plastic containers are because I cannot stand very long so I work sitting a lot.




This is the power train mounted on the sub frame.





NOTE the sub frame is rubber mounted. The large pads are where the power train attaches. This may be why they claim it is quiet.





Two more days were spent removing the axle shafts. Nissan recommends using a slide hammer type gear puller.





Here it is sitting in place. .25 x 1.5 inch bar stock was used to hang the sub frame from the hex tube bumper mount frame member. Additional pressure on that connection is only applied in reverse. Normal rotation applies torque to the rear mount.






Please note the gold plated connector receivers on the Chademo receptacle.
Next will be connecting the Leaf power train to the Honda front wheels.
