    Edelbrock 660 electric choke

    ASV2? if its a two wire choke the choke heater is to help it open faster than if it wasnt hooked up. when warm your engine still benefits from a closed choke, but as soon as its running its actually not needing it much if at all, the heater ensures it props open. without it im sure its...

    How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!

    There was a feller on this forum not long ago.. maybe it was gmt400... who is very insistent than brake burnishing is a lie pushed by Big Friction for the purpose of (??????). He never actually could say why its pushed but insisted that it must be in bad faith anyway. Without claiming that...

    How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!

    Most auto store chains im pretty sure offer turning rotors.. but my local oreillies did it for someone once, and my god their lathe machine thingy needed new bits or something because the rotors had no reflective surface left on the faces and the surface was a rough and bumpy but relatively flat...

    only recent advances allow those bearings to go without a spindle of some kind, or shaft, which applies preload on the bearings. The OEM ones without shafts as 2wd are new age design stuff!

    4x4 have larger centers because an axle shaft has to poke through while a 4x2 has to handle less weight on the front and has no axle shaft, just a spindle to support the bearings and thus the hub /rotor itself.

    If you have any wear to your spindle or you plan to use new bearings, id Just get new hubs/rotors personally. But if you reuse bearings or have no wear to your spindle, then pressing would be economical since you have the rotors, just ask a shop to do it quick

    How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!

    The studs have to be pressed out and then you have to likely separate whats left from rust/adhesive type wear, then once it is youd have to clean it up, put the hub to the new rotor, and press studs You cant do it like you can with stud replacement where you use a few lug nuts, you need a press

    Fix Slamming Doors - Striker Door Latch Repair

    they are a nice upgrade, the weather strips are most "challenged" on the upper parts of the door, especially following the inward angle of the tops of the doors to the body. that area is the most likely to have a gap, and the force from wind im sure is also harshest there since its directly in...

    Fix Slamming Doors - Striker Door Latch Repair

    On door strikers like these, the only thing I would say is rotate them so the worn part is not showing and its in the same place. If your door is saging enough that getting it to close nicely is a problem, I would avoid downward adjustment as much as possible BUT a slight adjustment outward...

    Sad Discovery: GM 10 Bolt Fails

    Glove box lock

    the best way to win against the DA is to perjure trap his witnesses since they usually rely on lies/omissions/testilying of the officers. Because you have a few options, if he KNOWS the witness is going to lie on the stand, and you know he knows you know because your lawyer does a good job...
