  1. Sarge, the offer still stands to use the 1/2 impact wrench (345-ft lbs). and I have a regular 1/2 36mm socket. and a 32mm socket for those aftermarket nuts. I had an issue just like yours and the impact from my work, did the job. I have no problem bringing over, just let me know. I'm free Friday after 5;00pm. and Sun early before the SuperBowl.

  2. Sarge, did you already try a impact wrench? If your new bar doesn't work... I can get ahold of a corded Dewat DW292 1/2 from work and bring it over, just let me know. Next Wed - through Sunday should be free for me.

  3. Quote: *I had with me. I thought broken timing belt(s), so I removed the distributor cap, but the rotor still turns. Then I thought it may be an ignition issue, check for spark from the plugs, spark is there*

     

    Did you actually touch the rotor and try to turn it by hand??? The rotor will still turn without the screw in it, and appear to be ok., I bet anything the screw in sitting at the bottom of the disty.

  4. Np. I wish my Loyale was not a daily driver, so I could park it and fix her up... like ur Brat. I'm always chasing something...knock on wood. Snows coming to the valley, Should provide some good entertainment. Glad we have more superior rides than most. :-)

  5. Try heating the nut?? You might have to cut through the nut "carefully". For the heater hose, try these industrial supply stores. They should be able to make the custome bends, if they don't have something in stock. It's worth a shot.

  6. You said your heater, is not producing a lot of heat? Have you taken the in/out et hoses off and flushed with water?? Warm your cat up and check the inlet an outlet hose. The inlet will be hot and the outlet will be a lot cooler, if your heating core has junk in it. Leave the hoses connected at the firewall, and disconnect at engine. Just need a spray nozzle to force the water through, use like a water bottle to catch the crap coming out. Should make a big difference in heat coming out of the vents

  7. Looking good Sarge! Can't wait to see it at the In n Out when it's done.. If you ever need help, PM or email me and if I'm free... I would be glad to give a hand. I'm still keeping an eye out for the D/R for you.

  8. It was annoying to me so I rebuilt the HLA's, and replaced the oil pump/ seals What I didn't know at the time., was the reinforced oring between the head, and block could be the culprit. Not to mention rtv getting into the oil port in the cam assem. You could try Lucas Oil Stabilizer, in the oil to quite them down a bit, it's only a temp fix till you find time to fix.

  9. How many miles on car? Could be your Cat iif original lit, could be plugging up. My car starrted dying and running really rough, lost power. When it finally died... starting really heating up and running very poorly. And eventually stopped running all together. I had to loosen the exhuast at the head and drive it home. If you have checkied your timing and you have replaced/checked everything else. I would loosen the exhaust header just enough to allow a gap... Fire it up and see if still runs rough. It going to be load, so don't do it too early in the morning. :)

  10. Happy to say that I picked up a 87 GL D/R. 5sp non-turbo for $100 to swap into my 93 Loyale wagon S/R 4wd 5sp. . This trans is not installed, I checked D/R linkage and it moves back and forth easy, seams to ok. The problem is trying to shift into gears 1-5, the rear shift lever will only go back and forth, no side motion. I'm no rocket scientist when comes to transmissions, but Google searches make it sound like internal damage. May something to do with shifting forks/synchro ?? Is there a good write up on how split the case? I planned on resealing anyway. I will post pics of trans in a day or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you

  11. My front right axle failed today as I was taking a left hand turn and promptly stopped accelerating and heard an awful grinding noise. I checked it out and it looks like the problem is with the splines on the hub end since the axle and hub do not move together. Now, in my experience, if splines fail, it trashes the splines on both components.

     

    Has this happened to anyone? I think the axle has been replaced at some point, and the car only has 110,000 miles on it. I'm hesitant to take it apart since it's already torqued and I could just slice the shaft with an angle grinder and drive around in 4wd until I have the resources to fix this issue. Any thoughts?
