Okay, so what I found was the nut had nothing to do with it. There was a small lip the size of the drum face that was about 6" around. It was a tight fit. I beat the shit out of the drum until I had blisters on my hand. I tried using an air hammer, penetrating oil, etc... I finally got it to...
Can't bleed for pedal. It leaks. You are saying to remove the axle nut and washer, put back on loosely and put the pin in and drive it slowly? Sorry, but it isn't very clear. So I use the weight of the vehicle to loosen the bearing assembly since the nut is loose? I've done that with lug nuts on...
Not that style. Big bearing nut holding the drum on. Tried a slide hammer and could't get it. Didn't see you at Mopars in the Park. Did you go? My car broke like it does every time i drive it to MIP. Hasn't been on the road since.
A friend has his Jeep in my detail shop. It needs wheel cylinders - no brake pedal and leaking. I want it out of my shop, but he can't get the drums off. Anyone know the trick to get rear brake drums off a 1969 Jeep Jeepster Commando? I need the space and will do it for him just to clear my shop.
That's the 83 center console. It's bigger than my first apartment. I need some of the interior light lenses and a rear view mirror with no crazing. And apparently a horn button.
When I first bought this truck, the power windows didn't work. I took the window motors out and replaced the gears. There were wood screws, lag bolts and machine screws holding it in. I riveted it all back in like it was supposed to be. Today I am changing the turn signal switch because the...
I didn't take the wire off yet. I had to drive it to Mopars in the Park the next morning and I was running out of daylight. When I started I thought I just had a bulb or two out. The turn signal cancel cams are out, and they come on a new switch. I'll check power back there, but maybe that's all...
My brother told me my right tail and turn weren't working. I checked and they were. I noticed I didn't have brake lights on the right side. Then I found out what an idiot the previous owner was. There is a wire scotch locked to the yellow wire in the right rear. It runs all the way through the...
1983 Ramcharger 2WD bought from original owner's daughter after he died. 318 / 727 with 97,000 miles. The PO installed aftermarket A/C that works really well. Red on red with hunter's plaid interior. I'm building a 440 for it and plan on lowering it after that. Right now I put on a Performer...
He bolted it on and away he went. :-) Actually, he bought the transmission from a local junkyard that does only Viper parts. I don't know what he did for the hydraulics. He was running an automatic and cut the hole for the shifter. The shifter arm gave him a little trouble because I guess it's a...
Yeah, my brother did the 5.7 truck Hemi swap into his 78 Warlock along with a Viper 6 speed manual transmission. It's not a common swap because the truck motor uses VVT solenoids. He was 2/3 done and was bitching that if he had built his 440 and dropped it in he'd be driving by now and would be...
Rubber freeze plugs are a temporary fix and should never be considered a permanent repair. A proper freeze plug costs 85 cents. Do it right, do it once.
Well, my Dart is leaking tranny fluid so I had the Ramcharger running and buffed it out and waxed it for the Monday car show. My brother went in his Warlock. We did a final dusting and clean up at the show. My brother pops the hood and I look over and say "what the hell do you have there?" He...
I finally found time to track down the issue. The interior spade terminal on the bulkhead connector was too loose and not allowing the male end to seat tightly. I could wiggle the wire and it would power off and on. Let me just say that the working quarters were extremely tight. I couldn't get...
I found intermittent power at the input to the ballast resistor. I was testing it and had no light and when I wiggled the huge mass of wires the light came on. I wiggled it back and forth and the light went on and off. So I know I have a bad wire somewhere in that mass of taped wires. I figured...
