:roll: Heh, I forgot about that :roll: I spent two hours tryin to pull the assembly away from the axle. Called a friend to come over and see if he could help out. We tapped the end fairly agressivly but nothing hard. Spent another unsecessful hour trying to get that off. Finally I called the guy tha...

I got that rook looking bolt off on the tierod and I can't pry it apart with my hands. By the looks of it, I didn't need to take that rook looking bolt off...but we'll see.

At the green arrow, I've not seen any 17mm bolts. I'll keep looking.

Thanks again for the help.

So I got a 17" breaker bar for $20, busted the stepdown that I got, had to buy a 17mm with the 1/2"drive. Finally got it off. Now Im having trouble with another bolt. I think I've only got two left before I can get the whole thing out. http://www2.innevi.com/~happyclown/files/car/car3nuts....

yeah, funny thing was I was 'pretending' to steal one from napa while I was pickin up the 32mm socket. They offered to let me borrow their too :? Kinda wish I did, cause I don't think Wal-Mart warrantys their tools (stanley) :cry: Oh well, Im takin that napa one that I broke down to get replaced for...

:shock: :shock: :shock: So I left my tools out when I went to class. I came back to start and take those top bolts off. They were on there pretty good, so I was using that cheat bar. From being outside my tools were frozen and I busted it. http://www2.innevi.com/~happyclown/files/car/stanely1sm.jpg ...

w00t got it off

Found a 7 foot pipe and used that as a breaker bar to pop the biatch off!

So now I just have to take out the bolts that hold on the strut assembly, tierod, and crossmember? Then I can get that whole assembly out?

Thats one tough a-- bolt

Is the tab your talking about the thing in the center? The inner lip of the nut was bent in to fit into that tab, I punched it out and I still cant get that mother off.

I'll go crank on it some more, but I'm thinkin I need a bigger bar.

So I've started taking things apart...and now I'm kind of stumped.
I've got the breaks all off but what do I do now?
Do I just take out the large bolt in the middle (RED)? Or Do I start undoing the other bolts (BLUE)?



Thanks

So does the hub include the axel?

I suppose i'll find out as I go. I'll be jacken 'er up in just a few mins...

I dunno much about it, but there is an old crazy lookin lady who lives a ways down the street, She's got two OLD a$$ caddies that just sit in her lawn and she drives around in a BOSS 2.3 Escort Its got the 95 ish body, the one that I would expect to see the BP's in. I don't know if the BOSS 2.3 on t...

Ok, so i got a new bearing and wheel seal... so I should be able to take apart the assembly and have a shop press my new bearing in... right? My friend was telling me that i will not be able to do it because of the axles. He said Im gonna need to have that pressed out too. Is that true... Is that no...

I think I need to replace one of my wheel bearings... but Im not to sure...

Are there any ways to pin point a bad wheel bearing? What are some signs of a bad bearing?

Are they easy to replace?

thanks

HUH

I guess its not the tierod than. Its solid. Deffinatly does not feel blown out. Turns out the little bit of wiggle and the bop noise I was hearing was the stearing column locking.



Now i'll have to invistigate furthere into the damn echoish rubbing noises

Yeah, it says they were driving a BMW M5 and doing 100+ Doesn't look like they were going that fast, but they were comming real close to smackin into the sides of a few cars. :shock: I'd feel way uncomfortable drivin fast down those streets with all those cars and people... they'd be fun empty roads...

Well, Im really bored, and just happened to notice that 12 people are online at this exact moment...

But im the only one in the chat room thinger
