Rear drum-to-hub screws

Hey guys,

Without having to go out in the rain and lightning and stuff, can anyone please tell me the measurements of the rear drum-to-hub screws? Mine are stripped to hell and I wanna replace them with my next brake job.

Cheers

Re: B6 Cylinder head bolts size

Actually disregard. Looks like my set is a little warped, used my neighbour's sockets and got the bolts off no problem.

B6 Cylinder head bolts size

Hey guys, been a long time! I tried searching this one out but couldn't find an answer... the head bolts, what size are they? I put a 13mm socket on them, but they felt loose. Tried a 12mm but it was too small. Don't wanna use the larger socket for fear of rounding out the bolts... any words of wisd...

Re: The "Quick Question" Thread (please search first)

Hey Ryan, here's a weird one for ya, maybe it's just because I'm paranoid, but figured I'd ask anyway... Engine runs fine, but it shakes. I know there are 4 pistons and a lot of other parts moving when it runs, but it's a very noticeable rumble - when my stick is in neutral, you can almost watch it ...

Re: 300,000kms Club OR a little less than 200,000 miles club

I'm at 213,700km. Car's in pretty awesome shape, but some nuts/bolts have a pretty good deal of rust on them, since it spent the first 17 years and 180,000kms of her life on Vancouver Island, mostly just sitting in the driveway and doing some highway once a week.

Re: My beloved Hankook K106s

I got a set of Nokian eNtyres for my 92 RS, and I LOVE them! Excellent handling, wet and dry, low rolling resistance (used to get about 35MPG on the highway, now I get about 40MPG on the same stretch, doing the same speed), accelerate quicker, and they're made of some new type of rubber, so they're ...

Re: Anyone else hate intermittent problems?

Hmm... good to know! Thanks Dan & Ryan!

(You may have noticed) I'm somewhat of a hypochondriac when it comes to my MX... but at least I'm not neglecting her :)

Anyone else hate intermittent problems?

I hate problems that come and go... Someone needs to invent "Gremlin B Gone". Anyways, I've got a couple ideas, but I wanted to run it by some of you guys n' gals to see if I'm even in the right ball park: - Whining noise when in 1st or 2nd gear, when clutch is either engaged, or disengage...

Re: Weird Winter Windshield Woes

I know the yellow "exterior" bottle says for exterior use only, but is there any reason not to use it on the interior?

PS - never thought this thread would hit 2 pages haha

I know the linkage controlling the door broke last year and I repaired that... makes that typical clunking sound when selecting between the two, so I don't think it's that... When I get off work tomorrow I'll check it then, and I'll also check for leaks and lube er up... thanks Solo! And I think tha...
