  1. well i cme up with a good idea to get it out. this is what i did: took the nut off of the stem took it out of the lca rented a sliding hammer used the part you use for a wheel hub tightened the nut gave it a couple pounds and it came right out!!! but when i went to the drivers side and started on the pinch bolt the head twisted off.... so i went to the auto store and got a new bolt. now i just need to go back and drill it out and replace that one
  2. what do you mean "took the load off" wouldnt putting a jack under the control arm not let it swing down when the ball joint pops out? where did you put the pry bar?
  3. ok so i was trying to replace my ball joints today. i read through all the other posts but i still cant get mine to come out. this is what i did: took wheel off removed pinch bolt all the way sprayed everything with pb blaster and let it sit wedged a screw driver in the pinch seam started hamering down on the control arm after about 30 min of doing that i could get the joint to move up and down maybe a millimeter. hammered some more and i couldnt get it to move any more then that. what am i doing wrong?
  4. ok on the site they have this graph Distributor Bench Testing $15.00 Recurves $40.00 HEI R&R see catalog Non-catalog single point rebuilds $88.50 Non-catalog dual point rebuilds $105.75 Non-catalog unit with governor $160.00 Mallory (general applications) $88.50 Industrial applications $88.50 Vacuum advance-single $25.00 Vacuum advance-dual $45.00 Shaft rebuild $25.00 Gears $15.00 min. how much would it be to send it to them and have them rebuild the whole thing? is it the 88.50 one? also at advance auto parts they have one for 153 but it is rebuilt too. how long will philbin take from when i ship it to when i ghet it back?
  5. ok so i found out yesterday that my distributor in my 87 dl carb. vacuum advance doesnt work. timed it to where it should be. plugged in the vac. line and nothing moved. reved it a little and still nothing. is there a place where you can just get the vac can? or do you have to buy the complete distributor? also how much advance does the vacuum give it?
  6. ok thank you. so just to clarify. after you line one up, you turn the crank a full rotation till you line up the center mark on flywheel. correct?
  7. ok so i replaced the timing belts today in my 87 dl 4wd 1.8l carbed. put everything back together and now it doesnt want to acclereate at all. also i can hear it missing. i am thinking that the cam gears are not lined up right. here is what i did. line up the flywheel with the middle mark of the 3 marks. i took the covers off, lossened both tensioners and took both belts off. lined the dot on the drivers side cam gear up with the notch on the plastic. put the new belt on keeping those marks lined up. loosened the tensioner bolt to put tension on the belt then tightend the bolt. then i turned the crank untill the mark on drivers side gear was pointing down (should the 3 marks on the flywheel be lined up again when i do this??) then lined up the passenger cam with the notch in the plastic and put put tension on that belt. and then put everything back together. i have read the write-up by milesfox and thought i did everything right. what would be the easiest and quickest way to fix this? do i have to do the complete job again? the reason i ask that is that the shop that i go to to work on my car is only open for 6 hours tomorrow.
  8. yeah probably. the only thing that rubs is the washer reservior. but i think a 2 inch lift would look good
  9. i have 235/75/15's on my 87 wagon. no lift. decent amount of cutting on the fenders
  10. on mine the cat is a dual inlet, so on mine the cat is the y-pipe. is there anyway to take that kind of cat out and tie the 2 pipes together?
  11. ok so my exhaust is falling apart. i have an 87 dl wagon 1.8l carbed. i want to get rid of the cat and install a y-pipe. also need to replace from the cat back. does anyone make a y-pipe for this car? what about a catback for it?
  12. i have 235/75/15's on a stock lift 87 4wd wagon. had to do a lot of trimming but no lift. i can show you a picture if you want. just let me know
