- be sure to mark the position of the rear flange to the pumpkin's flange... Ditto on the center bearing "holder" to the body. Exactly what do you mark on the center bearing holder? lets see, I mark the shaft and bracket alignment, and lo! It changes when the shaft rotates?/? so, do I jus...
The world has plenty of resources for humanity to grow and thrive for hundreds of years (that is a fact). The problem is the mismanagement of wealth and resources (mostly by incompetent governments).
I doubt the rotation of the rack will cause any issues with steering. In and out play, or side to side slop would be the critical issue. You might see if you can trighten the pinion gear adjustment. they are not meant to be field adjustable, but if you remove the lock washer it can be adjusted (a sc...
How many miles are on it? If the head gasket is blown, is the radiator also shot? That is the typical condition, radiator goes bad and it overheats, then the head gasket goes. So there may be more to replace than just a head gasket. How old is the clutch? Condition of the tires? How long as it been ...
Even better is to go through the local PickNPull and see if you can find any cool looking scoops off of something else you can mount on your hood. If you are going to use it as a daily driver I would prefer to keep it hidden behind the grill. The area ahead of the radiator is a high pressure area an...
yes, it is a dust shield. You remove the drive shaft by unbolting it at the rear diff flange, and remove the center carrier mount, drop the drive shaft and slip it off backwards. The front of the drive shaft has a spline that engages inside the rear of the tyranny. The dust shield should than slip o...
That is the idle mixture adjustment screw, it is supposed to be set at the factory and than plugged. Looks like some wise guy thought he needed to change the idle mixture and removed the plug before you owned it. It will not harm anything to screw that in, the old way is to do it is by "ear&quo...
Is it possible I did it wrong and it messed up the seal? I have pictures I'll try to post. Based on the pictures you look just fine, the grooves are large long enough to affect the sealing of the gasket, and even if they were it would not allow coolant into the oil supply. The head and block look g...
NEVER put sealant on a head gasket, in fact do not even handle the gasket or get it dirty at all before you install it. There is no other correct opinion, anyone that says to put sealant on a head gasket is just wrong. The only exception is a specially made custom all copper gasket, but not an OEM g...
I used a hand winch or "come-along" on the garage overhead beam. Could use a large tree branch. I have also made a saw horse looking devise that rests on the fender seams and crosses over the top of the engine, you need one of these to drop a trans on a transverse engine installation.
to bleed the master, you should always do that first, you have someone pump it up and hold the pedal, and than loosen the 10 mm flare hose nut on the brake line until fluid leaks out. Do one line at a time. I put a large rag under it to catch the brake fluid, and than clean it off well with carb cle...
I think if you drive a Tercel4wd you are already feeling kind of intimidated and outclassed by just about every other car on the road (even by the lowly Kia!), so we can all identify and kind of emotionally bond together for the comfort of being in a group of other that drive the same geeky car. OTO...
