Cheap impact wrenches are often defeated by the front axle nuts. My Ingersoll Rand laughs at them, though. :) IIRC it's 29mm for front nuts and 32mm for rears.

I dunno what the right procedure is for getting seized axles out of rear uprights. Hammers & presses apparently mushroom the shaft and then you're hosed.

If monk wants to be your sugar daddy too then go for it. But i already dibsed the rings.
I bought 2 rear uprights for 125 from ISellMiataParts. @Leafy do the advanced auto parts axles come with ABS rings? |

buying a new one Heh. Well, in my case, taking it to a race car-oriented suspension shop and handing them my credit card seemed to do the trick. :) --Ian |

Maybe at the beginning of the month then.

My intention is to put mine in the press and at least try to do it myself before paying someone to do it. I think I've finally got the guys in the shop here at work convinced that even though I'm an IT guy, I know how to turn a wrench. But I'm sure that's a ways off right now.
I'm catching a cold and its killing me. Ungh, I hate this time of year :hatecat: |
Fuck off westerner!
It's going to snow here this week. |

So right now in the southern hemisphere where I am, it's 65 degrees and sunny and I'm on my third IPA at the taven on the lake front.
Sorry you have a cold. |
lol. Its not that the cold is so bad, its my jacked up sinuses that make me absolutely miserable any time this happens. It's the waiting that makes it so much fun.
|
Just got over a nasty cold too. Couldn't work for a week, that's how bad it was.
I feelz the feelz |
Wednesday evening at work I had the slightly sore throat and it-feels-cold-but-thermometer-says-its-72 that suggested to me I was coming down with a cold, which would have royally sucked with Thunderhill on Friday. Fortunately it appears to have been an ultra mild cold that was gone almost instantly.

Yeah, got whomped. I've not had a "cold" this bad in a long time. I'm calling it a cold but it was much worse than that, I spent 3 days on the couch but I'm better now. Finally got back to work so, you know, posting on the turbo forum :)
|
Ok, someone help me with this: my HVAC blower motor only works when its under 46°F in the early AM. Maybe blower motor resistor?
|
Your car is telling you to man up, you don't need heating so long as it's in the high 40s.
--Ian |
It's more that I'd like the defroster to function, regardless of the temperature. I find that visual input is critical to a successful and enjoyable driving experience. ;)
|
nonsense
|
I've been thinking about wiring up some 12v computer fans to defrost my hardtop window. Shits impossible to see out of when its rainy.
I didn't know you guys had moisture in california. THought it was an oregon thing. |
The 1 day a year it rains, it's so difficult
