jagris Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Read through the threads, people talking about HLAs and the ticking. Everyone says use some atf, etc, etc. Then people say unless they are "seized". But no one explains a seized lifter. I have lifters out and a couple I can not push down. I've tried really hard. Does this mean they are seized? Others have a little play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 they should compress with a "clamp" or vice. or they should disassemble just fine for cleaning that way. a seized one won't budge with a clamp or vice, it's obviously bad. just pumping with fingers or weak tools isn't adequate as old HLA's are going to be hard to compress sometimes. i'm talking about under load. mizpah rebuilds them for like $3-$5 each, well worth it then you don't mess with them.
